Chapter 1

AlliedWare Plus™ Version 2.1.8 Web

Browser Interface

This chapter describes the types of web management sessions on the

AlliedWare Plus web interface and the web interface manager accounts.

See the following sections:

“Management Sessions” on page 16

“Web Manager Accounts” on page 17

Chapter 1: AlliedWare Plus™ Version 2.1.8 Web Browser Interface

Management Sessions

This manual provides procedures that guide you through the AlliedWare Plus web interface. The AlliedWare Plus Management Software supports the AT-9000/12POE, AT-9000/28, AT-9000/28POE, AT-9000/28SP, and AT-9000/52 Layer 2-4 Gigabit Ethernet EcoSwitches in both the web interface and the Command Line Interface (CLI).

The initial management session of the switch must be from a local (serial port console) management session because you must assign the switch an IP address from a local session. After you have assigned an IP address to the switch and enabled web management, you can log onto the web with either an encrypted (HTTPS) or a non-encrypted (HTTP) web browser management session.

In addition, the web interface allows access to a subset of the AlliedWare Plus features. For access to all of the AlliedWare Plus features, you must use the CLI.

Detailed feature descriptions are not provided in this guide. For thorough explanations of the features, see the AlliedWare Plus Management Software Command Line User’s Guide.

Note

The initial management session of the switch must be from a local (serial port console) management session.

AlliedWare Plus Version 2.1.8 Management Software Web Interface User’s Guide

Web Manager Accounts

You must log on to manage the switch. This requires a valid username and password. The switch comes with one web manager account with a username of “manager” and the default password of “friend.” Both the username and password are case sensitive. This account gives you access to all management modes and commands.

In the web interface, you can create two additional remote manager accounts. For instructions, see “Managing User Accounts” on page 44. The switch supports up to three manager sessions (this is configurable) at one time.

IPv4 Address— IPv4 address and subnet mask of the web interface. The IPv4 management address is assigned to the switch. The address is specified in the following format:

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Each xxx is a number from 0 to 255. There are four groups of numbers that are separated by periods.

Note

For IPv4 addresses, the subnet mask is a decimal number that represents the number of bits, from left to right, that constitute the network portion of the address. Here are some examples:

—The decimal mask 16 is equivalent to the mask 255.255.0.0.

—The decimal mask 24 is equivalent to the mask 255.255.255.0.

IPv4 Gateway— IPv4 address of the next hop of the switch’s default route. The switch uses a default route when it must communicate with a device that is not on the local IPv4 network.

System Name— Name of the switch. To configure this field, see “Setting the Switch Information” on page 40.

System Contact— Contact person for the switch. To configure this field, see “Setting the Switch Information” on page 40.

System Location— Location of the switch. To configure this field, see “Setting the Switch Information” on page 40.

Management VLAN— Management VLAN assigned to the switch. The default VLAN is “VLAN1.”

IPv6 Address— IPv6 address and subnet mask of the web interface. An IPv6 management address for the switch is entered in the following format:

nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn

Where “n” is a hexadecimal digit from 0 to F. The eight groups of digits are separated by colons. Groups where all four digits are “0” can be omitted. Leading “0”s in groups can also be omitted.

For example, the following IPv6 addresses are equivalent:

12c4:421e:09a8:0000:0000:0000:00a4:1c50

12c4:421e:9a8::a4:1c50

What to Configure First

Assigning a Name

to the Switch

Adding a

Management IP

Address

Setting System

Time

Here are a few suggestions on what to configure during your web management session on the switch. The initial management session must be a local management session from the Console port on the switch. For instructions on how to start a local management session, refer to “Starting a Web Management Session” on page 20.

The switch is easier to identify if you assign it a name. The switch’s name is displayed on the Dashboard page. See Figure 4 on page 23. To change the name of the switch, see “Setting the Switch Information” on page 40.

A name can be up to 39 alphanumeric characters. Spaces and quotation marks are not permitted.

You must assign the switch a management IP address before you can access the web interface. In addition, you may assign the switch both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address. See Chapter 18, “Setting IPv4 and IPv6 Management” on page 197.

Here are the requirements:

The switch can have one management IPv4 address and one management IPv6 address.

The switch can have one IPv4 default gateway and one IPv6 default gateway.

A management IP address must be assigned to a VLAN on the switch. It can be any VLAN, including the Default_VLAN which is “VLAN1.” For background information on VLANs, refer to the AlliedWare Plus Version 2.1.8 Command Line User’s Guide.

The network devices (such as, syslog servers, TFTP servers, etc.) must be members of the same subnet as a management IP address or have access to it through routers or other Layer 3 devices.

The switch must have a default gateway if the network devices are not members of the same subnet as the management IP address. The default gateway specifies the IP address of a router interface that represents the first hop to the subnets or networks of the network devices.

A default gateway address, if needed, must be a member of the same subnet as a management IP address.

To set the system time, either manually or with an NTP server, see “Setting the System Date and Time” on page 32.
