Chapter 6: Configuring Switch Access BMD00082, February 2009
Using the Browser-Based Interface
Use the management system to access the switch through a Web session. Choose menu I/O
Module Tasks > Configuration from the navigation pane on the left. Select a bay number and
click Advanced Configuration > Start Telnet/Web Session > Start Web Session. A Web
browser window opens a connection to the VSE SmartConnect software interface on the
switch.
The switch’s Browser-Based Interface (BBI) provides access to the common configuration,
management and operation features through the Web browser.
Access via HTTP
BBI access is enabled by default. To access the switch via the BBI, open a Web browser win-
dow and type in the URL using the IP interface address of the switch. For example:
Access via HTTPS
BBI access via HTTPS is disabled by default. Use the following CLI command to enable
HTTPS access:
Before you can access the BBI via HTTPS, you must generate a certificate to be used during
the key exchange. Use the CLI command below to generate the HTTPS certificate. A default
certificate is created the first time you enable HTTPS, but you can create a new certificate
defining the information you want to be used in the various fields.
