This chapter describes the Web interface, functions available on the Web interface, Web user levels you must have to perform a function, and common icons and buttons on the Web pages.
Web interface
The Web interface consists of the navigation tree, title area, and body area.
Figure 1 Web-based configuration interface
|
(1) Navigation area |
(2) Body area |
· Navigation area—Organizes the Web-based NM function menus in the form of a navigation tree, where you can select function menus as needed. The result is displayed in the body area. The Web network management functions not supported by the device are not displayed in the navigation area.
· Body area—The area where you can configure and display a function.
· Title area—On the left, displays the path of the current configuration interface in the navigation area; on the right, provides the Save button to quickly save the current configuration, the Help button to display the Web related help information, and the Logout button to log out of the Web interface.
Web user level
Web user levels, ranging from low to high, are visitor, monitor, configure, and management. A user with a higher level has all the operating rights of a user with a lower level.
· Visitor—Users can use the network diagnostic tools ping and Trace Route, but they can neither access the device data nor configure the device.
· Monitor—Users can only access the device data, but they cannot configure the device.
· Configure—Users can access device data and configure the device, but they cannot upgrade the host software, add/delete/modify users, or backup/restore configuration files.
· Management—Users of this level can perform any operations to the device.
Web-based NM functions
A user level in Table 1 indicates that users of this level or users of a higher level can perform the corresponding operations.
