Introduction
The HP 1:10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch software lets you use your Web browser to access switch information
and statistics and perform switch configuration via the Internet. This guide provides a reference to the
browser-based interface (BBI) for the HP 1:10GbE switch.
This chapter briefly describes the software features and requirements for the BBI and explains how to
access the BBI start page.
Additional references
Additional information about installing and configuring the switch is available in the following guides,
which are available at http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/documentation
• HP 1:10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch User Guide
• HP 1:10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch Application Guide
• HP 1:10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch Command Reference
• HP 1:10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch ISCLI Reference
• HP 1:10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch Quick Setup Instructions
Features
The network administrator can access all switch configuration and monitoring functions through the BBI, a
Web-based switch management interface. The BBI has the following features:
• Most of the same configuration and monitoring functions as the command line interface
• Intuitive and easy-to-use interface structure
• Nothing to install; the BBI is part of the switch software
• Two default levels of password protection
• Can be upgraded as future software releases are available
Requirements
.
To use the browser-based interface, you need the following:
• HP 1:10GbE switch
• Installed switch software
• PC or workstation with network access to the switch
• Frame-capable Web-browser software, such as the following:
○ Netscape Navigator 4.7x or higher
○ Internet Explorer 6.0x or higher
• JavaScript enabled in your Web browser
8
Getting started
Switch setup
Before you can access the BBI, minimal configuration is required on the switch.
Configuring IP interfaces
At least one IP interface must be configured on the switch. This is usually done from the command line
interface during first-time switch set up. Each IP interface address provides a point of access for switch
management.
For more information about configuring an IP interface for management access, see the “Using the
command line interface” section in the “Accessing the switch” chapter of the HP 1:10Gb Ethernet BL-c
Switch Application Guide.
Enabling or disabling BBI access
By default, BBI access is enabled. If you need to disable or re-enable access, use the following command
from the command line interface:
>> Main# /cfg/sys/access/http <disable|enable (or just d|e)>
By default, secure BBI access is disabled. If you need to enable access, use the following command from
the command line interface:
>> Main# /cfg/sys/access/https/access <disable|enable (or just d|e)>
The default TCP port to use for BBI access is port 80. To change the port number, use the following
command:
>> Main# /cfg/sys/access/wport <TCP port number>
For more information on accessing and configuring the switch through the command line interface, see
the HP 1:10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch Command Reference.
Web browser setup
Most modern Web browsers work with frames and JavaScript by default, and require no additional set
up. However, you should check your Web browser’s features and configuration to be sure frames and
JavaScript are enabled.
NOTE: JavaScript is not the same as Java™. Be sure that JavaScript is enabled in your Web
browser.
9
Getting started
Starting the BBI
When the switch and browser setup is complete, follow these steps to launch the BBI:
1. Start your Web browser.
2. Enter the switch IP interface address in the Web browser Uniform Resource Locator (URL) field.
For example, if the switch IP interface has a network IP address of 134.177.215.161, using Internet
Explorer, you could enter the following (for secure BBI access, use https://).
If you do not use the default TCP port number (80) for BBI access, you can include the port number
when you enter the IP address:
If the switch IP interface address has a name on your local domain name server, you can enter the
name instead. Using Internet Explorer, you can enter the following:
10
Getting started
3. Log in to the switch.
If your switch and browser are properly configured, you will be asked to enter a password.
Enter the account name and password for the switch.
For more password information, see the HP 1:10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch Command Reference
Guide.
11
Getting started
4. Allow the BBI Dashboard page to load.
When the proper account name and password combination is entered, the BBI Dashboard page is
displayed in the browser viewing area.
NOTE: There may be a slight delay while the Dashboard page is initializing. You should not stop
the browser while loading is in progress. When loading is complete, a folder icon for the switch
displays in the left-hand BBI window. Click this folder and a tree of folders displays.

Introduction
Once you are properly logged in, the switch BBI displays in the Web browser-viewing window.
There are three main regions on the screen.
• The Toolbar is used for selecting the context for your actions in the other windows.
• The Navigation window is used for selecting particular items or features to act upon.
• The Forms window is used for viewing or altering switch information.
Toolbar
The toolbar contains buttons and commands used to access and execute switch functions.
13
Browser-based interface basics
Context buttons
The toolbar is used for setting the context for your actions in the application. There are three context
buttons:
Table 1 Context buttons
Button Description
Configure When selected, you can access and alter the switch configuration forms. Select an item in the
navigation window to display the desired configuration form in the forms window.
NOTE: This context is only available when you are logged in as an administrator.
Statistics When selected, you can view information about switch performance. Select an item in the
navigation window to display the desired statistics in the forms window.
Dashboard This context button is selected by default when the BBI is first activated. When selected, basic
switch information and status can be viewed in the forms window. Select an item in the
navigation window to display the desired dashboard information in the forms window.
First click a context button, and then click an item in the navigation window. When a context button is
selected, the button is highlighted as a reminder of the current context mode.
Commands
The following general commands are available on the toolbar:

83
Viewing statistics
Table 51 IF statistics
Statistics Description
ifInErrors For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of inbound packets that contained errors
preventing them from being delivered to a higher-layer protocol.
For character-oriented or fixed-length interfaces, the number of inbound transmission units
that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol.
ifInDiscards The number of inbound packets that were chosen to be discarded even though no errors
were detected to prevent their being delivered to a higher-layer protocol. One possible
reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space.
ifInUnknownProtos For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of packets received via the interfaces that were
discarded because of an unknown or unsupported protocol.
For character-oriented or fixed-length interfaces which support protocol multiplexing the
number of transmission units received via the interface which were discarded because of an
unknown or unsupported protocol.
For any interface that does not support protocol multiplexing, this counter will always be
zero (0).
ifOutErrors For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of outbound packets that could not be transmitted
because of errors.
For character-oriented or fixed-length interfaces, the number of outbound transmission units
that could not be transmitted because of errors.
ifOutDiscards The number of outbound packets, which were chosen to be discarded even though no errors
had been detected to prevent their being transmitted. One possible reason for discarding
such a packet could be to free up buffer space.
IP statistics are described in the following table:
Table 52 IP Statistics
Statistic Description
ipInReceives The total number of input datagrams received from interfaces, including those received in error.
ipInDiscards The number of input IP datagrams for which no problems were encountered to prevent their
continued processing, but which were discarded (for example, for lack of buffer space). Note
that this counter does not include any datagrams discarded while awaiting re-assembly.
ipInDelivers The total number of input datagrams successfully delivered to IP user protocols (including
ICMP).
ipDefaultTTL The default value inserted into the Time-To-Live (TTL) field of the IP header of datagrams
originated at this entity (the switch), whenever a TTL value is not supplied by the transport layer
protocol.
ipInUnknownProtos The number of locally addressed datagrams received successfully but discarded because of an
unknown or unsupported protocol.
ipOutRequests The total number of IP datagrams which local IP user protocols (including ICMP) supplied to IP
in requests for transmission. Note that this counter does not include any datagrams counted in
ipForwDatagrams.
84
Viewing statistics
Table 52 IP Statistics
Statistic Description
ipOutDiscards The number of output IP datagrams for which no problem was encountered to prevent their
transmission to their destination, but which were discarded (for example, for lack of buffer
space). Note that this counter would include datagrams counted in ipForwDatagrams if any
such packets met this (discretionary) discard criterion.
ipInHdrErrors The number of input datagrams discarded due to errors in their IP headers, including bad
checksums, version number mismatch, other format errors, time-to-live exceeded, errors
discovered in processing their IP options, and so forth.
ipInAddrErrors The number of input datagrams discarded because the IP address in their IP header’s
destination field was not a valid address to be received at this entity (the switch). This count
includes invalid addresses (for example, 0.0.0.0) and addresses of unsupported Classes (for
example, Class E). For entities which are not IP Gateways and therefore do not forward
datagrams, this counter includes datagrams discarded because the destination address was not
a local address.

icmpInErrors The number of ICMP messages that the entity (the switch) received but determined
as having ICMP-specific errors (bad ICMP checksums, bad length, and so forth).
icmpOutErrors The number of ICMP messages which this entity (the switch) did not send due to
problems discovered within ICMP such as a lack of buffer. This value should not
include errors discovered outside the ICMP layer such as the inability of IP to route
the resultant datagram.

Port statistics are described in the following table:
Table 60 Port Statistics
Control Description
Clear Port x Statistics
Operational Status Enables or disables the port.
RMON Operational Status Enables or disables RMON for the port.
The next several tables contain specific information about bridging, interface (input and output), and
Ethernet statistics.
Bridging (“dot1”) Statistics
The following table describes the bridging statistics of the selected port:
Table 61 Bridging statistics of a port
Statistic Description
InFrames The number of frames that have been received by this port from its segment. A frame received
on the interface corresponding to this port is only counted by this object if and only if it is for a
protocol being processed by the local bridging function, including bridge management frames.
OutFrames The number of frames that have been transmitted by this port to its segment. Note that a frame
transmitted on the interface corresponding to this port is only counted by this object if and only
if it is for a protocol being processed by the local bridging function, including bridge
management frames.
Select Clear and click Submit to clear statistics for this port.
InDiscards Count of valid frames received that were discarded (that is, filtered) by the Forwarding Process.
EntryDiscards The total number of Forwarding Database entries, which have been or would have been learnt,
but have been discarded due to a lack of space to store them in the Forwarding Database. If
this counter is increasing, it indicates that the Forwarding Database is regularly becoming full
(a condition which has unpleasant performance effects on the sub network). If this counter has
a significant value but is not presently increasing, it indicates that the problem has been
occurring but is not persistent.
PortForward
Transitions
Link-State Change The number of times an interface has transitioned from either down to up or from up to down.
The number of times this port has transitioned from the Learning state to the Forwarding state.
Interface (“if”) Statistics - Input
The following table describes the interface input statistics of the selected port:
Table 62 Interface Statistics for a Port - Input
Statistic Description
HC Octets The total number of octets received on the interface, including framing characters.
HC UCastPkts The number of packets, delivered by this sub layer to a higher sub layer, which were not
addressed to a multicast or broadcast address at this sub layer.
96
Viewing statistics
Table 62 Interface Statistics for a Port - Input
Statistic Description
HC BcastPkts The number of packets, delivered by this sub layer to a higher sub layer, which were
addressed to a broadcast address at this sub layer.
HC MCastPkts The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested to be transmitted, and
which were addressed to a multicast address at this sub layer, including those that were
discarded or not sent. For a MAC layer protocol, this includes both Group and
Functional addresses.
Discards The number of inbound packets that were chosen to be discarded even though no errors
had been detected to prevent their being delivered to a higher-layer protocol. One
possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space.
Errors For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of inbound packets that contained errors
preventing them from being delivered to a higher-layer protocol. For character-oriented
or fixed-length interfaces, the number of inbound transmission units that contained errors
preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol.
Interface (“if”) Statistics - Output
The following table describes the interface output statistics of the selected port:
Table 63 Interface Statistics for a Port - Output
Statistic Description
HC Octets The total number of octets transmitted out of the interface, including framing characters.
HC UCastPkts The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested to be transmitted, and
which were not addressed to a multicast or broadcast address at this sub layer, including
those that were discarded or not sent.
HC BcastPkts The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested to be transmitted, and
which were addressed to a broadcast address at this sub layer, including those that were
discarded or not sent. This object is a 64-bit version of ifOutBroadcastPkts.
HC MCastPkts The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested to be transmitted, and
which were addressed to a multicast address at this sub layer, including those that were
discarded or not sent. For a MAC layer protocol, this includes both Group and
Functional addresses. This object is a 64-bit version of ifOutMulticastPkts.
Discards The number of outbound packets that were chosen to be discarded even though no errors
had been detected to prevent their being transmitted. One possible reason for discarding
such a packet could be to free up buffer space.
Errors For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of outbound packets that could not be
transmitted because of errors. For character-oriented or fixed-length interfaces, the
number of outbound transmission units that could not be transmitted because of errors.

Ethernet (“dot3”) Statistics
The following table describes the Ethernet statistics of the selected port:
Table 64 Ethernet Statistics for a Port
Statistic Description
Align Errors A count of frames received on a particular interface that is not an integral number of
octets in length and do not pass the Frame Check Sequence (FCS) check.
The count represented by an instance of this object is incremented when the
alignmentError status is returned by the MAC service to the Logical Link Control (LLC) (or
other MAC user). Received frames for which multiple error conditions obtained are,
according to the conventions of IEEE 802.3 Layer Management, counted exclusively
according to the error status presented to the LLC.
FCS Errors A count of frames received on a particular interface that is an integral number of octets in
length but do not pass the Frame Check Sequence (FCS) check.
The count represented by an instance of this object is incremented when the
frameCheckError status is returned by the MAC service to the LLC (or other MAC user).
Received frames for which multiple error conditions obtained are, according to the
conventions of IEEE 802.3 Layer Management, counted exclusively according to the
error status presented to the LLC.
Single Collisions A count of successfully transmitted frames on a particular interface for which transmission
is inhibited by exactly one collision.
A frame that is counted by an instance of this object is also counted by the
corresponding instance of the ifOutUcastPkts, ifOutMulticastPkts, or ifOutBroadcastPkts,
and is not counted by the corresponding instance of the dot3StatsMultipleCollision-Frame
object.
Multi Collisions A count of successfully transmitted frames on a particular interface for which transmission
is inhibited by more than one collision.
A frame that is counted by an instance of this object is also counted by the
corresponding instance of the ifOutUcastPkts, ifOutMulticastPkts, or ifOutBroadcastPkts,
and is not counted by the corresponding instance of the dot3StatsSingleCollision-Frames
object.
Late Collisions The number of times that a collision is detected on a particular interface later than 512
bit-times into the transmission of a packet.
Five hundred and twelve bit-times corresponds to 51.2 microseconds on a 10 Mbps
system. A (late) collision included in a count represented by an instance of this object is
also considered as a (generic) collision for purposes of other collision-related statistics.
Excess Collisions A count of frames for which transmission on a particular interface fails due to excessive
collisions.
Internal MACErrors A count of frames for which transmission on a particular interface fails due to an internal
MAC sub layer transmit error. A frame is only counted by an instance of this object if it is
not counted by the corresponding instance of the dot3StatsLateCollisions object, the
dot3StatsExcessiveCollisions object, or the dot3Stats-CarrierSenseErrors object.
The precise meaning of the count represented by an instance of this object is
implementation-specific. In particular, an instance of this object may represent a count of
transmission errors on a particular interface that are not otherwise counted.

Statistic Description
Frame Too Longs A count of frames received on a particular interface that exceeds the maximum permitted
frame size.
The count represented by an instance of this object is incremented when the
frameTooLong status is returned by the MAC service to the LLC (or other MAC user).
Received frames for which multiple error conditions obtained are, according to the
conventions of IEEE 802.3 Layer Management, counted exclusively according to the
error status presented to the LLC.
Mac Receive Errors A count of frames for which reception on a particular interface fails due to an internal
MAC sub layer receive error. A frame is only counted by an instance of this object if it is
not counted by the corresponding instance of the dot3StatsFrameTooLongs object, the
dot3Stats-AlignmentErrors object, or the dot3StatsFCSErrors object. The precise meaning
of the count represented by an instance of this object is implementation-specific. In
particular, an instance of this object may represent a count of received errors on a
particular interface that are not otherwise counted.
GEA IP Statistics
