Overview
Using the HP Web Browser
Interface
Overview
The HP web browser interface built into the switch lets you easily access the
switch from a browser-based PC on your network. This lets you do the
following:
■ Optimize your network uptime by using the Alert Log and other diagnostic
tools
■ Make configuration changes to the switch
■ Maintain security by configuring usernames and passwords
This chapter covers the following:
■ General features (page 4-3).
■ System requirements for using the web browser interface (page 4-4)
■ Starting a web browser interface session (page 4-5)
■ Tasks for your first web browser interface session (page 4-8):
• Creating usernames and passwords in the web browser interface
(page 4-9)
• Selecting the fault detection configuration for the Alert Log operation
(page 4-24)
• Getting access to online help for the web browser interface (page
4-12)
■ Description of the web browser interface:
• Overview window and tabs (page 4-16)
• Port Utilization and Status displays (page 4-17)
• Alert Log and Alert types (page 4-20)
• Setting the Fault Detection Policy (page 4-24)
Note If you want security beyond that achieved with user names and passwords,
you can disable access to the web browser interface. This is done by either
executing no web-management at the Command Prompt or changing the Web
Agent Enabled parameter setting to No (page 5-22) .
