1. Getting Started
The Web Management Interface is a device management tool for NETGEAR XCM8800 Series
Chassis switches. The Web Management Interface is launched as a Web page on the device.
The client, loaded onto the Web browser, uses SOAP over HTTP to communicate with the
device using XML APIs. The Web Management Interface provides a graphical user interface for
the more commonly used CLI commands, with focus on the statistics and monitoring commands.
Note: The screens shown in this chapter were captured from a variety of
switches. In some cases the information displayed on the screen
varies depending on the switch being used.
This chapter describes the Web Management Interface and contains the following sections:
• Setting Up the Web Management Interface on page 5
• Dashboard on page 6

XCM8800 Web Management Interface User Guide
Setting Up the Web Management Interface
This section describes the setup process required to use the Web Management Interface
with the switch and includes the following topics:
• HTTP and HTTPS Setup on page 5
• Client Setup on page 6
• Launching the Web Management Interface on page 6
HTTP and HTTPS Setup
Before you can launch the Web Management Interface, you must enable the web server on
the switch. You can use either HTTP or HTTPS to access the Web Management Interface.
Note: You must assign an IP address to a VLAN for management access to
the switch.
Web Access Using HTTP
To enable HTTP web access, enter the following command:
XCM8806.1 # enable web http
The switch is now ready for web access using HTTP at the URL http://<switch_ip>.
Web Access Using HTTPS
To enable HTTPS Web access, first check to see if the SSL module is installed. Enter the
following command:
XCM8806.1 # show ssl
If the following displays, the SSL module is not installed:
SSL Module: Not Installed
XCM8806.2 #
The SSL module has to be installed to enable HTTPS Web access. (See the NETGEAR
8800 Series Chassis Switch User Manual “Secure Socket Layer” in the Security chapter and
“Guidelines for Activating SSL” in the Software Upgrade and Boot Options appendix.)
After the SSL module is installed, create a certificate by entering the following command:
XCM8806.2 # configure ssl certificate privkeylen 1024 country us
organization netgear common-name name1
To enable HTTPS Web access, enter the following command:
8806.1 # enable web https
The switch is now ready for Web access using HTTPS at the URL https://<switch_ip>.

XCM8800 Web Management Interface User Guide
Client Setup
You need a standard Internet browser such as Mozilla Firefox (version 1.0 or greater) or
Internet Explorer (version 6.0 or greater) with the Adobe Flash Player 9 plug-in installed.
Note: The Web Management Interface supports up to six concurrent
sessions.
Launching the Web Management Interface
To launch the Web Management Interface, enter the URL of the switch in the address window
of your browser. The login prompt displays, as shown in the following figure.
Figure 1. Login prompt
The login screen displays the switch IP address. You enter a user name and password for
access. The user name and password are the same that you use to access the CLI from a
Telnet or SSH session.
Dashboard
Next, the Dashboard screen displays. The dashboard is the home screen, or opening screen.
This screen provides you with a one-glance-snapshot of switch status, inventory, and
management details.

Dynamic ACL Procedures
Following are common procedures for using Dynamic ACL functions.
To create an ACL:
1. Click the Create command button to display a new ACL template in the Create
Dynamic ACL pane.
2. Replace <ACLrulename> with a name.
3. In the template, click in <match-conditions> and then click one of the March Conditions listed
in the Help pane. The selection is inserted into the template.
4. Repeat for the other elements as necessary.
5. Click the Save ACL button. The new ACL is saved and added to the ACLs on device pane.
To apply an ACL to an interface:
1. In the ACLs on device pane, click the ACL to be applied. The Bind ACL command
button is enabled.
2. Click the Bind ACL command button. The Apply <ACL name> on interface pane is
displayed.
3. Click one of the three interface radio buttons (Any, Ports or VLANs). The appropriate fields
for the particular interface are displayed and enabled. (See

an Interface below)
• Clicking Any disables the other controls in the pane.
• Clicking Ports displays a list of all ports on the device. You can choose one or more
ports.
• Clicking VLANs displays a text box. Enter a VLAN name in the box.
If there are other ACLs applied to the chosen interface, you can apply the new ACL as
either the “first” or “last” ACL or position it before or after an ACL that is already applied to
the interface. If the ACL is already applied to the chosen port or VLAN, all controls are
disabled.
4. Make the selections and Save. The ACL is applied to the interfaces and the details are
displayed in the Interfaces applied to pane. Point to the ACL to display a tool tip showing
the interface status.
To remove an ACL:
First unbind the ACL from the interface, if appropriate, then remove it from the device.
