Starting the ADX web interface

The ADX web interface is included in the system image by default. Before you start the web

interface, you must configure the basic settings described in “Configuring basic settings” on

page 2. After the initial configuration, you can start accessing the web interface using the default

username and password.

To start the ADX web interface, perform the following steps.

1. Launch a web browser that has Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) or Hypertext Transfer

Protocol Secure (HTTPS) enabled. To use HTTPS, you must enable HTTPS and install a

certificate on the device. For more information on enabling HTTPS on the device, refer to

“Setting up secure web access” on page 4.

2. Type http://<IP address> in the address bar on the browser.

3. Press Enter.

The Login window is displayed.

NOTE

The default user name is admin and default password is brocade. After logging in, you must

change the default password to ensure security. The password must contain alphanumeric

characters.

4. Enter the user name and password, and click OK.

To change or re-enter the user name or password, click Clear.

NOTE

You have three attempts to log in to the web interface. If all three login attempts fail, you will be

locked out for 30 minutes. During the locked out period, you cannot log in even if you provide

the correct password.

The home page of the ADX web interface is displayed. To terminate a session at any time, click

Logout on the login bar in the top right corner.

Configuring basic settings

You must configure the basic settings on the ADX device to view the web interface. This involves

configuring the management port and enabling access to the web interface.

Configuring management port

You must configure the management port by assigning the IP address and the route for the device.

To configure the management port, perform the following steps.

NOTE

The management port supports IPv4 addresses only. The IP address configuration procedure is the

same for both HTTP and HTTPS.

The steps below vary depending on whether you are running switch code or router code on the ADX

device.
