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.

appendix.)
After the SSL module is installed, create a certificate by entering the following
command:
