Others

·     Make sure the management PC and the device can reach each other.

·     Up to 24 users can concurrently log in to the device through the Web interface.

·     After logging in to the Web interface, you can select Device > Users from the navigation tree, create a new user, and select Wizard or Network > VLAN interface to configure the IP address of the VLAN interface acting as the management interface.

·     You can also log in to the Web interface through HTTPS, but you must enable HTTPS on the device, and the address you input in the address bar must start with https://. For more information, see "Configuring service management."

·     If you have configured the auto authentication mode for an HTTPS login user by using the web https-authorization mode command, the user is automatically authenticated by the PKI certificate, without inputting any username and password. For more information, see Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

Logging in to the Web interface

You can use the following default settings to log in to the Web interface through HTTP:

·     Username—admin

·     Password—admin

·     IP address of VLAN-interface 1 of the device—192.168.0.100.

To log in to the device through HTTP:

1.     Connect the GigabitEthernet interface of the device to a PC by using a crossover Ethernet cable.

By default, all interfaces belong to VLAN 1.

The PC in this procedure is used for configuring basic device settings, and it is not necessarily the PC you use for Web-based management.

2.     Configure an IP address for the PC and make sure the PC and device can reach each other.

For example, assign the PC an IP address 192.168.0.0/24 (excluding 192.168.0.100, 192.168.0.2 for example).

3.     Open the browser, and input the login information.

a.     In the address bar, type the IP address http://192.168.0.100, and press Enter.

The login page of the Web interface (see Figure 4) appears.

b.     Enter the username admin and password admin, and click Login.

Logging out of the Web interface

	CAUTION: You cannot log out by directly closing the browser.

 

To log out of the Web interface:

1.     Save the current configuration.

Because the system does not save the current configuration automatically, H3C recommends that you perform this step to avoid loss of configuration.

2.     Click Logout in the upper-right corner of the Web interface, as shown in Figure 6.
