The Home page of the WebAgent displays in the right pane and a navigation tree displays in the
left pane. You can access all the WebAgent features from the navigation tree.
Tasks for your first WebAgent session
Viewing the “First Time Install” window
When you access the WebAgent for the first time, the Alert log contains a “First Time Install” alert.
This gives you information about first time installations and provides an immediate opportunity to
set passwords for security. You can also specify a fault detection policy, which determines the
types of messages that will be displayed in the Alert Log.
To view the Alert Log, click on System in the navigation tree, then click on Logging. Double click
on First Time Install in the Alert log. The WebAgent displays the “First Time Install” window. This
window is the launching point for setting WebAgent passwords for maintaining security, and also
setting a fault detection policy.
You can also use the navigation tree to access these screens:
• To set WebAgent passwords, select Security > Device Passwords in the navigation tree.
• To set the fault detection policy, select Security > Intrusion Log in the navigation tree.
Setting a username and password
You can set a username in the Username field of the password pane. If you do not want to set a
username, then leave the Username field in the password pane blank.
The manager and operator passwords are used to control access to all switch 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 troubleshooting capabilities.
Note that the command prompt and switch console interface use only the password; you are not
prompted for the username.
