Web Interface Browser Requirements
To access the web interface, your browser must support and be enabled to accept JavaScript and cookies. 
It must be able to render HTML pages containing Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). 
The Cisco Web Security Appliance follows the Target Environments set by YUI: 
http://yuilibrary.com/yui/environments/ 
Your session automatically times out after 30 minutes of inactivity.
Some buttons and links in the web interface cause additional windows to open. Therefore, you may need 
to configure the browser’s pop-up blocking settings in order to use the web interface.
Note
Only use one browser window or tab at a time to edit the appliance configuration. Also, do not edit the 
appliance using the web interface and the CLI at the same time. Editing the appliance from multiple 
places concurrently results in unexpected behavior and is not supported.
Accessing the Appliance Web Interface
Step 1
Open a browser and enter the IP address (or hostname) of the Web Security appliance. If the appliance 
has not been previously configured, use the default settings:
https://192.168.42.42:8443
 
IPv6 Support
IPv6 is supported in both explicit and transparent deployment modes. The IPv6 
feature is designed to have the same familiar configuration interface as IPv4. 
Existing features such as HTTP/HTTPS/FTP, L4TM, Proxy bypass, URL 
categorization, AVC, among many others all are IPv6 ready. Logs and reports are 
largely unchanged but offer additional visibility into IPv6 traffic.
Enhancements
User Interface
AsyncOS 8.0.0 introduces an easier to use interface that allows "drag and drop" 
capabilities. The "view reports" page, favorites page, and other interfaces allow 
user to drag and drop to rearrange items on the screen, such as ordering a list or 
moving components of the reports dashboard to a different location.
