Accessing The Switch Through The Web Interface - Avaya 5900 Series Quick Start Configuration

Accessing the switch through the web interface

You can use EDM to configure and maintain your switch through a web-based graphical user
interface. You can monitor the switch through a web browser from anywhere on the network.
By default, you can access the web interface using Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS)
only.
For more information about configuring the web server to respond to HTTPS only or to both HTTPS
and Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) client browser requests, see Configuring Security on Avaya
Ethernet Routing Switch 5900 Series, NN47211-505.
By default, the web interface uses a 15 minute time-out period. If no activity occurs for 15 minutes,
the system logs off the switch web interface, and you must reenter the password information.
To configure inactivity time-out, see Configuring Security on Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 5900
Series, NN47211-505.
Before you begin
• Ensure that the switch is running.
• Note the switch IP address.
• Ensure that the web server is enabled.
• Note the user name and password.
• Open one of the supported web browsers.
For more information about the supported browsers, see Using ACLI and EDM on Avaya
Ethernet Routing Switch 5900 Series, NN47211-104.
