Getting Familiar with Management Applications
December 2005 © Foundry Networks, Inc. 2 - 9
The login username and password you enter depends on whether your device is configured with AAA
authentication for SNMP. If AAA authentication for SNMP is not configured, you can use the user name “get” and
the default read-only password “public” for read-only access. However, for read-write access, you must enter “set”
for the user name, and enter a read-write community string you have configured on the device for the password.
There is no default read-write community string. You must add one using the CLI. See the Foundry Security
Guide.
As an alternative to using the SNMP community strings to log in, you can configure the Foundry device to secure
Web management access using local user accounts or Access Control Lists (ACLs). See the Foundry Security
Guide.
Navigating the Web Management Interface
When you log into a device, the System configuration panel is displayed. This panel allows you to enable or
disable major system features. You can return to this panel from any other panel by selecting the Home link.
The Site Map
link gives you a view of all available options on a single screen.
Figure 2.3 displays the first Web management interface panel for Layer 3 Switch features, while Figure 2.4
displays the first panel for Layer 2 Switch features. These panels allow you to configure the features supported by
the Layer 3 Switch and Layer 2 Switch software.

NOTE: If you are using Internet Explorer 6.0 to view the Web management interface, make sure the version you
are running includes the latest service pack(s). Otherwise, the navigation tree (the left-most pane in Figure 2.3)
will not display properly. For information on how to load the latest service pack(s), refer to the on-line help
provided with your Web browser.
