Chapter 1
AlliedWare Plus™ Version 2.2.4 Web
Browser Interface
This chapter describes the types of management sessions using the
AlliedWare Plus™ management software and the Web interface manager
accounts. See the following sections:
“Management Sessions” on page 20
“Web Manager Accounts” on page 21
19
Chapter 1: AlliedWare Plus™ Version 2.2.4 Web Browser Interface
Management Sessions
The AT-8100 series switches provide two management interfaces: the
AlliedWare Plus™ Web interface and Command Line Interface (CLI). This
manual provides procedures that guide you through the AlliedWare Plus™
Web interface.
The initial management session of the switch can be from a management
session either through the Web interface or the CLI. The switch is shipped
from the factory with an IP address assigned and the Web interface (HTTP
service) enabled so that you can start the initial management session
through the Web interface. To start the initial web management session,
see Chapter 2, “Starting a Management Session” on page 23.
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 Version 2.2.4 Command Line Interface User’s Guide.
20
Web Manager Accounts
You must log on to manage the switch. This requires a valid username and
password. The switch comes with one 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 Local User Accounts” on
page 53. The switch supports up to three manager sessions at one time.

changes, and end a management session. See the following sections:

Chapter 2: Starting a Management Session
Note
Non-secure HTTP and Secure HTTPS Modes
The switch has a web browser server so that you can remotely manage
the switch over the network from a web browser on your PC. The server
can operate in either plain-text HTTP mode or encrypted HTTPS mode.
To access the switch through a web browser on your PC, either HTTP
service or HTTPS service must be enabled.
HTTP ModeWeb browser management sessions of the switch conducted in the HTTP
mode are non-secure because the packets exchanged by the server on
the switch and your management workstation are sent in clear text,
leaving the packets vulnerable to snooping.
The switch shipped from the factory is configured with HTTP service
enabled.
HTTPS ModeWeb browser management sessions of the switch conducted in the
HTTPS mode are protected against snooping because the packets
exchanged between the switch and your management workstation are
encrypted. Only the switch and the workstation are able to decipher the
packets.
To access the switch in the HTTPS mode:
The switch must have a HTTPS certificate.
HTTPS service on the switch must be enabled.
Either HTTPS or HTTP service can be enabled at the same time. To
enable HTTPS service, HTTP must be disabled.
To configure the switch with a HTTPS certificate and enable HTTPS
service, you must use the AlliedWare Plus™ Command Line Interface
(CLI). See “Secure HTTPS Web Browser Server” chapter in AlliedWare
Plus Management Software Version 2.2.4 Command Line Interface User’s
Guide.

AlliedWare Plus Version 2.2.4 Management Software Web Browser User’s Guide
Note
Starting the Initial Web Management Session
This section explains how to start a management session for the first time
using the AlliedWare Plus™ Web interface. The switch shipped from the
factory is configured with an IP address assigned and the Web interface
(HTTP service) enabled.
The switch and your PC must be directly connected through an twistedpair cable, and the IP addresses of the switch and your PC must be
members of the same network. Because the switch is shipped from the
factory with the IP address 169.254.1.1 and the subnet mask 16, you must
assign your PC an IP address in the 169.254.0.0/16 network except
169.254.1.1. In addition, your PC must have a web browser, such as
Windows Explorer, installed.
There are two ways to assign an IP address to your PC:
Manually assign any IP address in the 169.254.0.0/16 network (except
169.254.1.1) to your PC.
Disconnect your PC from a network and let your PC automatically set
an IP address in the 169.254.0.0/16 network. When a PC is
disconnected from a network and no longer connected to a DHCP
server, Windows assigns a random IP address in the
169.254.0.0/16 network to the PC.
If you delete the boot.cfg file and reboot the switch, the factory
default settings are lost. Deleting the boot.cfg file and restarting the
switch restores the switch to its default configuration with HTTP
service disabled and no IP address assigned.
To start a Web management session when the switch has the
default configuration settings, you must use the AlliedWare Plus™
Command Line Interface (CLI) to assign an IP address and enable
HTTP or HTTPS service. For more information about enabling HTTP
or HTTPS service and assigning an management IP address, see
““Starting a Web Management Session” on page 32.”
To start a Web management session using a PC with an IP address in the
169.254.0.0/16 network, perform the following procedure:
1. Connect a RJ-45 plug on a straight-through twisted-pair cable to a
twisted-pair port on the switch.
2. Connect the other RJ-45 plug on the straight-through twisted-pair
cable to a twisted-pair connector on the PC.

Note
Note
What to Configure First
Here are a few suggestions on what to configure during your initial
management session on the switch through the Web interface. The initial
management session can be performed through the Command Line
Interface (CLI) as well as the Web interface. For instructions on how to
start a local management session through the CLI, refer to AlliedWare
Plus Management Software Version 2.2.4 Command Line Interface User’s

Address
To protect the switch from unauthorized access, change the password of
the manager account. For instructions on how to change “Changing a
User Password” on page 55.
Write down the new password and keep it in a safe and secure
location. If you forget the manager password, you cannot manage
the switch if there are no other management accounts on the unit. In
this case, contact Allied Telesis Technical Support for assistance.
For instructions on how to create additional management accounts, see
“Adding a New User Account” on page 53.
The switch is easier to identify if you assign it a name. The switch’s name
is displayed on the Dashboard page. To change the name of the switch,
see “Setting the Switch Information” on page 48.
A name can be up to 39 alphanumeric characters. Special characters,
except spaces and quotation marks, are allowed.
The switch shipped from the factory has the IP address 169.254.1.1
assigned. You must change the factory default IP address to an address in
your network. To change the IP address, see “Changing an IPv4 Address”
on page 236. Also, remember to change the IP address of your PC.
When you change the management IP address of the switch, you
lose the connection to the switch. After you change the IP address of
your PC, start a management session again by opening a web
browser on the PC and entering the new IP address of the switch.
Here are the requirements:
You can assign one IPv4 address per VLAN.
The switch can have as many IPv4 addresses as there are VLANs
on the switch.
