Using the Web Browser Interface
Tasks for Your First Web Browser Interface Session
Note Passwords you assign in the Web browser interface will overwrite previous
passwords assigned in either the Web browser interface, the Command
Prompt, or the switch console. That is, the most recently assigned passwords
are the switch’s passwords, regardless of which interface was used to assign
the string.
Using the Passwords
Figure 5-4. Example of the Password Window in the Web Browser Interface
The manager and operator passwords are used to control access to all switch
interfaces. Once set, you will be prompted to supply the password every time
you try to access the switch through any of its interfaces. The password you
enter determines the capability you have during that session:
■ Entering the manager password gives you full read/write capabilities
■ Entering the operator password gives you read and limited write capabil-
ities.
Using the User Names
If you also set user names in the Web browser interface screen, you must
supply the correct user name for Web browser interface access. If a user name
has not been set, then leave the User Name field in the password window
blank.
Note that the Command Prompt and switch console interfaces use only the
password, and do not prompt you for the User Name.
