Using the HP Web Browser Interface
Tasks for Your First HP Web Browser Interface Session
Using the HP Web Browser
Interface
Both the user names and passwords can be up to 16 printable ASCII
characters. Spaces can be included in user names, but not in passwords
(to represent spaces in passwords, you can use the underscore (_) char-
acter).
3. Click on [Apply Changes] to activate the user names and passwords.
Note
Strings you assign in the web browser interface will overwrite previous access
strings assigned in either the web browser interface or the switch console.
Using the Passwords
The manager and operator passwords are used to control access to both the
web browser interface and the switch console. Once set, you will be chal-
lenged to supply the password every time you try to access either the web
browser interface or switch console. The password you enter determines the
capability you have during that session:
■ using the manager password gives you full read/write capabilities
■ using the operator password gives you read and limited write capabilities.
Using the User Names
If you also set user names in the web browser interface screen, you must
supply the correct user name and password combination for web browser
interface access. If a user name has not been set, the User Name field in the
web browser interface access popup must be left blank.
The switch console uses only the passwords and does not prompt you for the
User Names.
If You Lose a Password
If you lose the passwords, you can clear them by pressing the Clear button on
the front of the switch. This action deletes all password and user name
protection for both the web browser interface and the switch console.
The Clear button is provided for your convenience, but its presence means
that if you are concerned with the security of the switch configuration and
operation, you should make sure the switch is installed in a secure location,
such as a locked wiring closet.
