Web Console Installation

Before you can use the Web Console to configure your Cisco 6400, you must install the Web Console

HTML pages. You can install the Web Console from the PCMCIA disk in the node switch processor

(NSP) disk slot 0 (disk0:) or from a TFTP server. After the HTML pages are installed, they can be

updated at any time using the procedure described in the “Loading New Web Console Pages” section on

pageA-24.

Using Automatic Installation of the Web Console

Automation installation of the Web Console requires a PCMCIA disk with a Web Console software

image of Cisco IOS Release 12.0(5)DB or later. If you plan to use an earlier Web Console software

release, proceed to the “Installing the Web Console from the PCMCIA Disk ” or “Installing the Web

Console from a TFTP Server” sections.

To let the NSP install the Web Console application automatically, complete the following steps

beginning in EXEC mode:

Step 1 Insert the PCMCIA disk with the Web Console image into disk slot 0 of the NSP.

Step 2 Use the dir disk0: command to see if the Web Console image (indicated with the arrow below) is on

disk0:. If the image is not on disk0:, proceed to Step 3. If you successfully locate the image on disk0:,

skip to Step 4.

Switch# dir disk0:

Directory of disk0:/

3 -rw- 628224 Jan 01 2000 00:08:55 c6400s-html.tar.120-5.DB

376 -rw- 2134 Jan 05 2000 22:05:27 startup.config

109760512 bytes total (109130154 bytes free)

Switch#

Step 3 Download the Web Console image (Cisco IOS Release 12.0(5)DB or later) from Cisco.com to disk0:.

You might have to first download the image to an interim site on the local network, and then copy the

image to disk 0:.

Step 4 Type reload. This will reboot the NSP.

Switch# reload

After rebooting, the NSP checks disk0: for a Web Console image. If the Web Console image is present,

the NSP automatically extracts the HTML pages from the image.
