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
Note
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.
The initial management session of the switch must be from a local
(serial port console) management session.
16
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.

Chapter 2: Starting a Management Session
Note
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.
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:
AlliedWare Plus Version 2.1.8 Management Software Web Interface User’s Guide

What to Configure First
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.
AlliedWare Plus Version 2.1.8 Management Software Web Interface User’s Guide
Assigning a Name
to the Switch
Adding a
Management IP
Address
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.
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.
