3 Using the SDN controller UI
The SDN controller provides a console UI you can use as follows:
• View information such as alerts and logs and view OpenFlow information such as data flow
details, topology of discovered switches and end nodes including shortest path and view
OpenFlow classes that applications have registered.
• Perform actions such as acknowledging an alert, adding or enabling an application, exporting
log data and entering licensing information.
• Configure SDN controller components such as setting key values for alert policies.
The SDN controller also provides REST APIs you can use to program or configure the controller
and develop applications to run on the controller. For details on how to use the REST APIs and
how to develop applications, see the HPE VAN SDN Controller Programming Guide and HPE
VAN SDN Controller REST API Reference.

Starting the SDN controller console UI
Access the SDN controller from a Chrome or Firefox supported browser. A message will be
displayed indicating if you are using an unsupported browser such as Internet Explorer.
1. Using a supported browser, access the controller UI:
https://<SDN_Controller_Address>:8443
Where <SDN_Controller_Address> is the IP address for your controller. The URI is
case sensitive.
For example: https://192.0.2.1:8443
2. Enter the User Name and Password credentials, then select Login.
For Example:
Default user name: sdn
