ExtremeXOS ScreenPlay User
Guide
Overview
ScreenPlay is a web-based device management tool for all ExtremeXOS-based
devices running software version 12.0 or higher. ScreenPlay is launched as a web
page on the device. The ScreenPlay client, loaded onto the web browser, uses
SOAP over HTTP to communicate with the device using XML APIs. ScreenPlay
provides a graphical user interface for the more commonly used CLI commands,
with focus on the statistics and monitoring commands.
Setting Up ScreenPlay
This section describes the setup process required to use ScreenPlay with the
switch and includes the following topics:
■HTTP and HTTPS Setup on page 5
■Client Setup on page 6
■Launching ScreenPlay on page 6
HTTP and HTTPS Setup
Before you can launch ScreenPlay, you must enable the web server on the switch.
You can use either HTTP or HTTPS to access ScreenPlay.
Web Access Using HTTP
To enable HTTP web access, enter the following command:

NOTE
The screens shown in this chapter were captured from a variety of Extreme Networks switches. In some
cases the information displayed on the screen varies somewhat depending on the switch being used.
NOTE
You must assign an IP address to a VLAN for management access to the switch. For more information,
see the chapter “Configuring Management Access.”

SummitX450a-48t.1 # enable web http
The switch is now ready for web access using HTTP at the URL "http://
<switch_ip>".
Web Access Using HTTPS
To enable HTTPS web access, you must first check to see if the SSL module is
installed. Enter the following command:
BD-8806.1 # show ssl
If the following displays, the SSL module is not installed:
SSL Module: Not Installed
BD-8806.2 #
The SSL module must be installed to enable HTTPS web access. (Refer to the
ExtremeXOS Concepts Guide “Secure Socket Layer” in the Security chapter and
“Guidelines for Activating SSL” in the Software Upgrade and Boot Options
appendix.)
After the SSL module is installed, create a certificate by entering the following
command:
BD-8806.2 # configure ssl certificate privkeylen 1024 country us
organization extreme common-name name1
To enable HTTPS web access, enter the following command:
SummitX450a-48t.1 # enable web https
The switch is now ready for web access using HTTPS at the URL "https://
<switch_ip>".
Client Setup
You need a standard web browser such as Mozilla Firefox®(version 1.0 or greater)
or Internet Explorer®(version 6.0 or greater) with the Adobe Flash®Player 9 plug-
in installed.
Launching ScreenPlay
To launch ScreenPlay, enter the URL of the switch in the address window of your
browser. When ScreenPlay launches, the authentication screen displays, as shown
in Figure 1.
NOTE
ScreenPlay supports up to six concurrent sessions.
