Browser-Based Interface Summary

© Copyright Lenovo 2016
Accessing the BBI via HTTPS requires that you generate a certificate to be used
during the key exchange. A default certificate is created the first time HTTPS is
enabled, but you can create a new certificate defining the information you want to
be used in the various fields.
RS G8264(config)# access https generate­certificate
Country Name (2 letter code) [US]:
State or Province Name (full name) [CA]:
Locality Name (eg, city) [Santa Clara]:
Organization Name (eg, company) [Lenovo Networking Operating System]:
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) [Network Engineering]:
Common Name (eg, YOUR name) [0.0.0.0]:
Email (eg, email address) []:
Confirm generating certificate? [y/n]: y
Generating certificate. Please wait (approx 30 seconds)
restarting SSL agent
The certificate is valid only until the switch is rebooted. To save the certificate so it
is retained beyond reboot or power cycles, use the following command:
RS G8264(config)# access https save­certificate
When a client (such as a web browser) connects to the switch, the client is asked to
accept the certificate and verify that the fields match what is expected. Once BBI
access is granted to the client, the BBI can be used.
The BBI is organized at a high level as follows:
Context buttons—These buttons allow you to select the type of action you wish to
perform. The Configuration button provides access to the configuration elements
for the entire switch. The Statistics button provides access to the switch statistics
and state information. The Dashboard button allows you to display the settings and
operating status of a variety of switch features.
