130 Accessing the HTTP Interface Chapter 6

Accessing the HTTP Interface

1. Connect a 10baseT or 100baseT Ethernet cable to the back of the bridge.

2. Apply power to connected SCSI and Fibre Channel devices.

3. After all the devices have gone through their power up routines, boot up

the bridge.

4. Turn on the host computer.

5. If the IP address for the bridge is known, open the host computer’s web

browser and enter the IP address into the Address field. The factory default

for the IP address of the bridge is 1.1.1.1. See Appendix D, Enabling

DHCP.

If you do not know the IP address of the bridge (or need to change the IP

address), connect to the bridge using the RS-232, or serial, connection.

Current information can be seen and changed from the Network menu.

See Chapter 5 for more information on making changes to the IP address.

Note To access the Web Management Interface, the bridge must be

assigned an IP address. The factory default setting for the IP

address allows access on a local area network only. If the

factory default for the IP address is already used by another

device on the local network, the IP address must be changed.

For remote access from WAN or Internet locations, the IP

address must be changed to a valid IP address. Valid IP

addresses have the form x.x.x.x where each x is an integer in the

range of 0 to 255.

6. When selecting a menu item for the first time, the user will be prompted to

[root] for user

name and

[password] for password. This information is required only

once per session.

7. After entering the user name and password, full access is gained to the

configuration menus for as long as a session lasts. A session ends when

the user exits the Web browser or navigates the browser to a new web

address. Log-in will be required again the next time a session is opened.
