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
Use Microsoft Internet Explorer® 7.x or higher on Windows operating systems only or Mozilla® Firefox® 3.0.6 or higher on all operating systems to access the web interface of the network management interface. Other commonly available browsers may work but have not been fully tested.
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 Socket Layer (SSL); encrypts user names, Pin, and data being transmitted; and authenticates Network Management Cards by means of digital certificates.
- 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.
- 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.
