Logging on through the Web Management Interface
Logging on through the Web Management Interface
To use the Web Management Interface, open a Web browser and enter the IP address of the
management port on the Brocade device in the Location or Address field. The Web browser
contacts the Brocade device and displays a Login panel, such as the one shown below.

NOTE
If you are unable to connect with the device through a Web browser due to a proxy problem, it may
be necessary to set your Web browser to direct Internet access instead of using a proxy. For
information on how to change a proxy setting, refer to the on-line help provided with your Web
browser.
To log in, click on the Login link. The following dialog box is displayed.

The login username and password you enter depends on whether your device is configured with
AAA authentication for SNMP. If AAA authentication for SNMP is not configured, you can use the
user name “get” and the default read-only password “public” for read-only access. However, for
read-write access, you must enter “set” for the user name, and enter a read-write community string
you have configured on the device for the password. There is no default read-write community
string. You must add one using the CLI.
As an alternative to using the SNMP community strings to log in, you can configure the Brocade
device to secure Web management access using local user accounts or Access Control Lists
(ACLs).
