Web GUI

The web GUI is an alternative user interface for interacting with the Brocade vRouter. For security
reasons, the GUI is turned off by default. If you want to use the GUI, you must enable it through the CLI.
Any operation that can be performed through the CLI (except enabling the GUI) can also be performed
through the web GUI. The GUI essentially reflects the structure of the CLI; in particular, the command
hierarchy in the GUI follows the basic CLI configuration structure. If you are familiar with the CLI, the
structure of the GUI should be straightforward to understand.
Supported browsers include Firefox 3, Internet Explorer 7 and 8, and Google Chrome 5.
This section presents the following topics:

Enabling access to the web GUI
All you have to do to access the web GUI is to enable the HTTP Secure (HTTPS) service. (Note that
enabling HTTPS access allows only access to the web GUI; it does not provide general SSL access.)
To access the web GUI from the network, you also have to configure an Ethernet interface with an IP
address. In the examples, it is assumed that you have configured an Ethernet interface with an IP
address.
