Chapter 7: Cabling the Network Ports

112

Yet another way to remotely manage a stack is with a web browser. A 
special web browser interface, featuring both non-secure (HTTP) and 
secure (HTTPS) operation, lets you monitor and configure many of the 
switch’s features from a series of windows. The interface, however, may 
only be used to configure a subset of the features. To configure those 
features the web browser interface does not support, you have to use the 
command line interface from another management method.

Here are the requirements for non-secure HTTP web browser 
management:



Your management workstation must have a web browser.



The web browser server on the switch has to be activated. This is 
the default setting in the default BOOT.CFG and QSTART.CFG 
files.



The switch must have an IP address. You may use the factory 
169.254.1.1 address assigned to the Default VLAN.



You need to assign your management workstation an IP address 
in the 169.254.n.n subnet or your workstation must have access to 
that subnet through routing devices.

For instructions on how to start a web browser management session, refer 
to the AT-8100L and AT-8100S Series AlliedWare Plus Web Browser 
User’s Guide

Refer to the AT-8100 Series AlliedWare Plus Command Line Interface 
User’s Guide for instructions on how to configure the stack for SNMP 
management. The switch does not have any default SNMP community 
strings.

The command line interface of the Local, Telnet, and SSH management 
methods gives you the ability to configure all of the features and 
parameters on the stack. Many of the commands feature the PORT 
parameter, which you use to identify the individual networking ports on the 
units in a stack. The parameter has the following format:

The first number is the switch’s stack ID number. The stack ID number for 
a switch in a stack is displayed by the Stack ID LED.
