Access a Configured Network Management Interface

The below procedure describes how to access the network management interface from a web interface. It is also possible to use the following interfaces:

Telnet and SSH
SNMP
FTP
SCP

NOTE: Ensure that only one network management interface in the entire system is set to synchronize time.

Modern web browsers are compatible with the network management interface. Use the most recent version of your browser to mitigate the risk of software security vulnerabilities.

You can use either of the following protocols when you use the web interface:

The HTTP protocol, which provides authentication by user name and Pin but no encryption.
The HTTPS protocol, which provides extra security through Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS); encrypts user names, Pin, and data being transmitted; and authenticates network management cards by means of digital certificates.

NOTE: HTTP is disabled and HTTPS is enabled by default.

Access the network management interface by its IP address (or its DNS name, if a DNS name is configured).
Enter the user name and password.

NOTE: The default user name and password and password are apc at first login. You will be prompted to enter a new password after you log in.
To enable or disable the HTTP or HTTPS protocol, use the Network menu on the Administration tab, and select the Access option under the Web heading on the left navigation menu.
