Access requirements
The Web Management Interface (WMI) is a browser-based interface that allows administrators to
manage and monitor a single PowerConnect device, or a group of PowerConnect devices connected
in an IronStack topology. For many of the features on a PowerConnect device, the interface can be
used as an alternate to the CLI for creating new configurations, modifying existing ones, and
monitoring the traffic on a device, or on an IronStack.
NOTE
The WMI does not provide network management capabilities. If you need to manage a network of
PowerConnect devices, use the
Brocade Network Advisor
application.
The WMI is available on PowerConnect devices. Refer to the Release Notes for your device to
determine if the Web Management Interface described in this manual applies to your product.
The interface can be accessed from a management station using a Web browser through an HTTP
connection. The management options can be accessed from a menu tree, or a list. The menu tree
view is available when you use the Web Management Interface with the following Web browsers:
•
Netscape 4.0 or higher
•
Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher
•
Safari 3.1
•
Google Chrome
•
Mozilla Firefox
•
Opera
If you use the WMI with an older browser, the Web Management Interface displays only the List
view.
To access the Web Management Interface, PowerConnect devices must be set up as mentioned
below:
•
A management station, such as a PC, with a Web browser, that is either connected directly to
the PowerConnect device or is on the network of the device to be managed.
•
The device must have an IP address. Assign the IP address using the CLI. For more information
on IP addresses for an IronStack, refer to the
PowerConnect B-Series FCX Configuration
Guide.
