Introduction
Overview
The Embedded Web Server (EWS) is a web-based graphical user interface (GUI),
based on HTML, that enables the user to administer products, monitor products
and ports, and perform tasks to manage a simple Storage Area Network (SAN).
You can also use EWS to perform troubleshooting tasks and upgrade product
firmware.
With product firmware 04.00.00 (or later) installed, administrators or operators
with a browser-capable PC and an Internet connection can monitor and manage
the product through the EWS interface.
The EWS interface supports product configuration, statistics monitoring, and
basic operation. The EWS interface neither replaces nor offers all of the
management capability of the High Availability Fabric Manager (HAFM) and its
Product Manager applications (for example, the EWS interface does not support
all product maintenance functions).
In addition, EWS provides hyperlink access to other products in a fabric, which
means those products can also be managed.
Using EWS to Perform Tasks
Users can perform the following tasks using EWS:
■Display the properties and operational status of the product, FRUs, and Fibre
Channel ports; display product operating parameters; and display fabric
parameters.
■Configure the director or edge switch, including:
— Fibre Channel port parameters, port types, and data transmission speeds.
— Product identification, date and time, operating domain parameters, fabric
parameters, and network addresses.

Introduction
18 Embedded Web Server User Guide
— Parameters for product management through Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP), the Command Line Interface (CLI), the
Open System Management Server (OSMS) feature, or the Fibre
Connection (FICON) Management Server (FMS) feature.
Note: The Edge Switch 2/24 does not support out-of-band management through FMS.
However, the Edge Switch 2/24 does support transmission of FICON frames.
— Zones and zone sets.
— User rights (administrator and operator).
■Monitor ports and port statistics, and display the event log and node list.
■Perform product operations and maintenance tasks, including:
— Enable unit beaconing, set the product online or offline, and perform a
configuration reset.
— Enable port beaconing, perform port diagnostics, and reset ports.
— Retrieve dump files and retrieve product information files.
— Install optional feature keys.
— Configure product Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, names, and SNMP
settings.
— Install new versions of product firmware.
— Manage user access to features.
— Control product ports on an individual basis.
— Troubleshoot problems using event log and error status indicators.
Administrators and operators can access real-time information about the
product and fabric.
The EWS interface can be opened from a standard web browser running Netscape
Navigator 4.6 or higher or Microsoft®Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher. At the web
browser, the user enters the IP address of the product as the Internet uniform
resource locator (URL). When prompted at a login screen, the user enters a user
name and password.
Note: The default user name is Administrator and the default password is password.
The user name and password are case-sensitive.

Introduction
19Embedded Web Server User Guide
Viewing the User Interface
When the EWS interface opens, the default display is the View page. Figure 1
shows an example EWS view with labels for the various parts of the image. This
example shows the Configure >Switch >Identification screen for the
Edge Switch 2/24. For other products, the corresponding page looks very similar.
Figure 1: Example Embedded Web Server page for Edge Switch 2/24
As shown in Figure 1, particular terms are used when describing the EWS
interface:
■Navigation panel — at the left of the screen is a menu of the various primary
views available on the screen. The navigation panel options include:
—View — At the View page, the Director or Switch (default), Port
Properties, FRU Properties, Unit Properties, Operating Parameters,
and Fabric task selection tabs display.
—Configure — At the Configure page, the Ports (default), Director or
Switch, Management, Zoning, and User Rights task selection tabs
display.

Introduction
20 Embedded Web Server User Guide
—Monitor — At the Monitor page, the Port List (default), Port Stats,
Log, and Node List task selection tabs display.
—Operations — At the Operations page, the Director or Switch (default),
Port, Maintenance, and Feature Installation task selection tabs display.
—Help — The Help option opens online user documentation that supports
the EWS interface. This manual supplements the online help that is
included with the EWS interface.
■Page — describes the entire screen except the navigation panel. When you
choose an item from the navigation panel, the corresponding page view
displays. For example, choose Configure from the navigation panel to view
the Configure page.
■Tab — describes a label for a viewing option on a page, such as the Switch
and Identification tabs shown in Figure 1. Task selection tabs display at the
top of the page. The task selection tabs allow users to perform director- or
switch-specific tasks.
■Tab view — describes the fields, buttons, and labels that display when you
click on a tab. The tab view contains the information you are trying to access
and activities that you can complete.
■Date and Time — specifies the time when the information shown on the page
view was last updated.
Benefits
The EWS interface provides the following benefits:
■Enables a single product to be managed from a single point of access.
■Allows an administrator to manage a product from any location (such as their
office, a raised floor area, or a conference room) within the company’s
public/private networks.
■Enables an administrator to view the most current information about a product
upon accessing the product.
(This easy access provides a single point of product administration that is not
limited to the location of an application or special hardware.)
