Product Management
56 SAN High Availability Planning Guide
Embedded Web Server Interface
With product firmware version 1.2 (or later) installed, administrators and
operators with a browser-capable PC and an Internet connection can monitor and
manage the director or switch through an EWS interface. The interface provides a
GUI similar to the Element Manager application and supports product
configuration, statistics monitoring, and basic operation.
The EWS interface does not replace nor offer the management capability of the
HAFM and Element Manager applications (for example, the Web server does not
support all product maintenance functions). In addition, the EWS interface
manages only a single product.
Web server users can perform the following:
■ Display the operational status of the director or switch, FRUs, and Fibre
Channel ports, and display product operating parameters.
■ Configure the product (identification, date and time, operating parameters,
and network parameters), ports, SNMP trap message recipients, zones and
zone sets, and user rights (administrator and operator).
■ Monitor port status, port statistics, and the active zone set, and display the
event log and node list.
■ Perform product firmware upgrades and port diagnostics, reset ports, enable
port beaconing, and set the product online or offline.
The EWS interface can be opened from a standard Web browser running Netscape
Navigator 4.6 or higher or Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher. At the
browser, enter the IP address of the product as the Internet uniform resource
locator (URL). When prompted at a login screen, enter a user name and password.
The default administrator-level user name is Administrator. The default
operator-level user name is Operator. The default password for both is
password.
When the interface opens, the default display is the View panel (Figure 20). The
View panel for the Director 2/64 is shown as an example.
