Chapter 1: Starting a Web Browser Management Session
30 Section I: Basic Operations
The main menu is on the left side of the home page. It consists of the
following selections:
ˆ Enhanced Stacking
ˆ Configuration
ˆ Monitoring
ˆ Logout
Note
The Enhanced Stacking selection is included in the menu only if the
switch you accessed is a master switch.
A web browser management session remains active even if you link to
other sites. You can return to the management web pages anytime as long
as you do not quit the browser.
You should always log out from a web browser management session
when you are finished managing a switch. (For instructions, see “Quitting
a Web Browser Management Session” on page 33.) Logging out prevents
unauthorized individuals from making changes to a switch’s configuration
if you leave your management station unattended. Also, as long as you
are logged in, no one else can access the switch through another local or
remote connection.
If you close your web browser without logging out, the switch considers
the management session as still in progress and will not permit the start of
another management session until the expiration of the console timer. The
timer is used to end inactive local and remote management sessions. The
default setting for the timer is ten minutes. The console timer can be set
from the menus or the command line interface, but not from the web
browser interface.
