HTTP and HTTPS Support

The GUI supports both HTTP and HTTPS. The Apache server and PHP are used for HTTP and HTTPS

communication between the GUI and the software.

NOTE: Communication between the browser and the Apache server is independent of the

communication between the Apache server and the software. Each communication type can use

different protocols for support.

Features

The GUI supports the REST APIs used by the software and can perform GET, POST, and DELETE

operations. You can also:

• View a graphical representation of the network topology

• Issue or configure a policy

• View basic system information for monitoring purposes

• Use the query tree view and builder to facilitate selection and assembly of REST API queries

• Filter results to provide regex, field selection, and pagination
