Management Sessions

This manual provides procedures that guide you through the AlliedWare Plus Web interface. The AlliedWare Plus Management Software supports the AT-9000/28, AT-9000/28SP, and the 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.

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 45. The switch supports up to three manager sessions (this is configurable) at one time.

Starting a Web Management Session

Before you start a remote web management session, you must log on to the AlliedWare Plus CLI and assign an IP address to the switch. Also, you must enable web management on the switch which is disabled by default.
To assign an IP address, enable web management, and start a web management session on an AT-9000 switch, do the following:
If you have already assigned the switch an IP address and enabled the web management, start with step 8.
1. Log on to the AlliedWare Plus CLI. The Login Menu is shown in Figure 1.
2. Enter “manager” for the login name and press Return. You are prompted for a password.
3. Enter “friend” as the password and press Return. The “awplus>” prompt indicates that you are logged on to the switch.
4. Assign an IP address and subnet mask to the switch by entering the following commands:
awplus> enable awplus# configure terminal awplus(config)# interface vlan1 awplus(config-if)# ip address 167.142.10.5/16

5. Display the IP address assigned to VLAN 1 by entering the following commands:
awplus(config-if)# exit awplus(config)# exit awplus# show ip interface
For a display of this command, see Figure 2.
Figure 2. Displaying the IP address
6. Enable the web browser on the switch by entering the following commands:
awplus# configure terminal awplus(config)# http server
7. Save your changes on the switch by copying the running configuration file to the start-up configuration file. Enter the following command:
awplus# copy running-config startup-config
8. Open a web browser, such as Microsoft Explorer, and enter one of the following:
To start an HTTP session, enter: http:// followed by the IP address
of the switch.
To start an HTTPS session, enter: https:// followed by the IP
address of the switch.

The following fields are displayed:
Up Time— Indicates the length of time since the switch was last
reset or power cycled in days, hours, minutes and seconds. This field is located in the upper right-hand corner of the page.
The System section displays the following information:
Software Version— Lists the software version number of the
AlliedWare Plus software.

Chapter 2: Starting a Management Session
Note
MAC Address— Specifies the MAC address of the switch.IPv4 Address— Displays the 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 x 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— Displays the 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— Indicates the name of the switch. To configure
this field, see “Setting the Switch Information” on page 41.
System Contact— Indicates the contact person for the switch. To
configure this field, see “Setting the Switch Information” on page 41.
System Location— Indicates the location of the switch. To
configure this field, see “Setting the Switch Information” on page 41.
Management VLAN— Displays the management VLAN assigned
to the switch. The default VLAN is “VLAN1.”
IPv6 Address— Displays the 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

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 2.1.2 Management Software Web Browser 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 41.
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 17, “Setting IPv4 and IPv6 Management” on page 187.
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 2.1.1 Command Line User’s Guide.
Setting System
Time
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.
