3.2 Web Interface Overview

MLNX-OS® package equipped with web interface which is a web GUI that accept input and

provide output by generating webpages which can be viewed by the user using a web browser.

The following web browsers are supported

• Internet Explorer 8.0 or higher

• Chrome 18 or higher

• Mozilla Firefox 12 or higher

• Safari 5 or higher

The web interface makes available

the following perspective tabs:

•Setup

•System

<MAC address> A MAC address. The segments may be 8 bits or 16 bits at a time, and may be

delimited by “:” or “.”. So you could say “11:22:33:44:55:66”,

“1122:3344:5566”, “11.22.33.44.55.66”, or “1122.3344.5566”.

<netmask> A netmask (e.g. “255.255.255.0”) or mask length prefixed with a slash (e.g. “/

24”). These

two express the same information in different formats.

<network prefix> An IPv4 network prefix specifying a network. Used in conjunction with a net-

mask to determine which bits are significant. e.g. “192.168.0.0”.

<regular expression> An extended regular expression as defined by the “grep” in the man page. (The

alue you provide here is passed on to “grep -E”.)

<node id> ID of a node belonging to a cluster. This

is a numerical value greater than zero.

<cluster id> A string specifying the name of a cluster.

<port> TCP/UDP port number.

<TCP port> A TCP port number in the full allowable range [0...65535].

<URL> A normal URL, using any protocol that wget supports, including http, https, ftp,

sftp, and tftp;

or a pseudo-URL specifying an scp file transfer. The scp pseudo-

URL format is scp://username:password@hostname/path/filename.

Note that the path is an absolute path. Paths relative to the user's home directory

are no

t currently supported. The implementation of ftp does not support authenti-

cation, so use scp or sftp for that.

Note also that if you omit the “:password” part, you may be prompted for the

assword in a follow up prompt, where you can type it securely (without the

characters being echoed). This prompt will occur if the “cli default prompt

empty-password” setting is true; otherwise, the CLI will assume you do not want

any password. If you include the “:” character, this will be taken as an explicit

declaration that the password is empty, and you will not be prompted in any case.
