Getting started Getting started Introduction The HP 10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch software lets you use your Web browser to access switch information and statistics and perform switch configuration via the Internet. This guide provides a reference to the browser-based interface (BBI) for the HP 10GbE switch. This chapter briefly describes the software features and requirements for the BBI and explains how to access the BBI start page.
Getting started Switch setup Before you can access the BBI, minimal configuration is required on the switch. Configuring IP interfaces At least one IP interface must be configured on the switch. This is usually done from the command line interface during first-time switch set up. Each IP interface address provides a point of access for switch management.
Getting started Starting the BBI When the switch and browser setup is complete, follow these steps to launch the BBI: Start your Web browser. Enter the switch IP interface address in the Web browser Uniform Resource Locator (URL) field. For example, if the switch IP interface has a network IP address of 12.20.7.132, using Mozilla Firefox, you could enter the following (for secure BBI access, use https://).
Page 11
Getting started Log in to the switch. If your switch and browser are properly configured, you will be asked to enter a password. Enter the account name and password for the switch. For more password information, see the HP 10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch Command Reference.
Page 12
Getting started Allow the BBI Dashboard page to load. When the proper account name and password combination is entered, the BBI Dashboard page is displayed in the browser viewing area. NOTE: There may be a slight delay while the Dashboard page is initializing. You should not stop the browser while loading is in progress.
Browser-based interface basics Browser-based interface basics Introduction Once you are properly logged in, the switch BBI displays in the Web browser-viewing window. There are three main regions on the screen. The Toolbar is used for selecting the context for your actions in the other windows. The Navigation window is used for selecting particular items or features to act upon.

Browser-based interface basics Navigation window The navigation window is used for selecting a particular switch feature to act upon. Status, statistics, or configuration forms for the selected item will display in the forms window, depending on the context chosen on the toolbar. The navigation window contains a tree of folders, subfolders, and feature icons.
Dashboard Dashboard Introduction The switch BBI can be used to view the present settings and operating status of a variety of switch features. Most of the same information available through the switch’s command line interface is present on the dashboard forms. The following provides a basic outline for viewing the dashboard forms.
