Accessing the Web
Interface
You can access the web interface through the console port or over the
network.
To access the web interface
through the console port
, you must install,
configure and run the Serial Web Utility described in “Serial Web Utility”
on page 227
. Note that the Serial Web Utility is only required if you want
to access the web interface through the console port; it is not required for
access over the network.
To access the web interface
over the network
, take the following steps:
1
Ensure that your network is correctly set up for management using the
web interface. For more information, see “Setting Up Web Interface
Management” on page 33.
2
Open your Web browser.

In the Location field of the browser, enter the URL of the stack. This must
be in the format:
http://
nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn/
where
nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
is the IP address of the stack.
When the browser has located the stack, a user name and password
dialog is displayed as shown in Figure 2
.
