Using the ProCurve Web Browser Interface
Tasks for Your First ProCurve Web Browser Interface Session
Entering a User Name and Password
Figure 5-4. Example of the Password Prompt 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/troubleshooting
capabilities
■ Entering the operator password gives you read and limited trouble-
shooting capabilities.
Using a User Name
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.
If You Lose the 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 from all of the switch’s interfaces.
