Chapter 5. Using the Web Interface
You can manage your switch through your Web browser and Internet connection.
This is referred to as Web-based management. To access the switch, your Web
browser must support:
v
HTML version 4.0, or later
v
HTTP version 1.1, or later
v
JavaScript
™
version 1.2, or later
This chapter explains how to access the switch Web-based management panels to
configure and manage your switch.
It is important to note that there are equivalent functions in the Web interface as in
the terminal interface (that is, there are usually the same menus to accomplish a
task). For example, when you log in, there is a Main Menu with the same functions
available, and so on. The Web login session will be automatically logged off based
on the Telnet timeout settings. There are several differences between the Web and
terminal interface. For example, on the Web interface the entire forwarding
database can be displayed, and the terminal interface only displays 10 entries
starting at specified addresses.
So, if you have read “Chapter 3. Configuring your switch” on page 25 and
“Chapter 4. Using the Terminal Interface” on page 31, navigating the Web interface
will not be difficult. This chapter is a brief introduction to the Web interface.
Configuring for Web Access
To have Web access to the switch:
v
Configure the switch for in-band connectivity (see “Chapter 2. Accessing the
switch” on page 19).
v
Enable Web mode (see “Configuring network connection for the switch” on
page 35.)
Web Page Layout
A Web interface panel for the switch Web page consists of three frames (Figure 65
on page 82). Frame 1, across the top, appears a banner graphic of the switch.
Frame 2, at the bottom-left displays a hierarchical-tree view. The tree consists of a
combination of folders, subfolders, and configuration and status HTML pages. You
can think of the folders and subfolders as branches and the configuration and
status HTML pages as leafs. Only the selection of a leaf (not a folder or subfolder)
will cause Frame 2 to display a new HTML page. A folder or subfolder has no
corresponding Frame 3 HTML page. Frame 3, the bottom-right frame, displays the
currently selected device configuration status or the user configurable information
that you have selected from the tree view of Frame 2, or both. You can resize each
of these frames. There are no fixed-sized frames.
