N8406-023 1Gb Intelligent L3 Switch Browser-based Interface Reference Guide 5
Getting started
Introduction
The 1Gb Intelligent L3 Switch software lets you use your Web browser to access switch information and
statistics and perform switch configuration via the Internet.
This guide provides an overview of how to access and use the switch browser-based interface (BBI).
This chapter briefly describes the software features and requirements for the switch browser-based interface
(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.
N8406-023 1Gb Intelligent L3 Switch User’s Guide
N8406-023 1Gb Intelligent L3 Switch Application Guide
N8406-023 1Gb Intelligent L3 Switch Command Reference Guide (AOS)
N8406-023 1Gb Intelligent L3 Switch Command Reference Guide (ISCLI)
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:
N8406-023 1Gb Intelligent L3 Swtich
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
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 N8406-023 1Gb Intelligent L3 Switch
Application Guide.
N8406-023 1Gb Intelligent L3 Switch Browser-based Interface Reference Guide 6
Enabling or disabling BBI access
>> Main# /cfg/sys/access/http <disable|enable (or just d|e)>
>> Main# /cfg/sys/access/https/https <disable|enable (or just d|e)>
>> Main# /cfg/sys/access/wport <TCP port number>
NOTE: JavaScript is not the same as Java™. Be sure that JavaScript is enabled in your Web browser.
By default, BBI access is enabled. If you need to disable or re-enable access, use the following command from
the command line interface:
By default, secure BBI access is disabled. If you need to enable access, use the following command from the
command line interface:
The default TCP port to use for BBI access is port 80. To change the port number, use the following command:
For more information on accessing and configuring the switch through the command line interface, see the
N8406-023 1Gb Intelligent L3 Switch Command Reference Guide.
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.
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 192.168.3.70. 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:
N8406-023 1Gb Intelligent L3 Switch Browser-based Interface Reference Guide 7
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:
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 N8406-023 1Gb Intelligent L3 Switch Command Reference
Guide.
N8406-023 1Gb Intelligent L3 Switch Browser-based Interface Reference Guide 8
4. Allow the BBI Dashboard page to load.
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.
When the proper account name and password combination is entered, the BBI Dashboard page is
displayed in the browser viewing area.

Control
Description
Set Virtual Router Group to Backup
Forces the master virtual router group into backup mode. This is generally
used for passing master control back to a preferred switch once the
preferred switch has been returned to service after a failure. When this
command is executed, the current master gives up control and initiates a
new election by temporarily advertising its own priority level as 0 (lowest).
After the new election, the virtual router forced into backup mode by this
command will resume master control in the following cases:
This switch owns the virtual router (the IP addresses of the virtual router
and its IP interface are the same)
This switch‘s virtual router has a higher priority and preemption is
enabled.
There are no other virtual routers available to take master control.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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 Mbit/s
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 collisionrelated statistics.

Description
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 dot3StatsCarrierSenseErrors 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.
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.
