3.2. Setting Up User Authentication
When you need authentication, W EB X provides the tools required to specify the default
permission, or access level, for new user accounts. With authentication enabled, you can:
• Restrict who can access general functionality and administrator-level configuration.
• Use port locking.
• Enable zoning.
• Use A PCON ’s Security blades to share SPAN/Monitor ports.
Before setting up user accounts, however, you must decide which authentication method, if
any, you want to use:
To set up a user database:
1. Ensure that an IP address is set up, as described in Setting the IP Address starting on
page 16.
2. Access W EB X:
A. On the host computer, open a web browser.
B. If the host computer is configured to use a proxy server, disable the proxy setting.
C. In the browser’s address field, enter the switch’s IP address, in standard
TCP/IP #.#.#.# format. For example:
http://192.168.0.1
