The following procedure assumes you have met the software requirements,
(including browser and Java plug-in configurations) and have assigned IP
information and a Telnet password to the switch or command switch, as described
in the release notes.
To access the CLI from a web browser, follow these steps:
Start one of the supported browsers.
In the URL field, enter the IP address of the command switch.
When the Cisco Systems Access page appears, click Telnet to start a Telnet
session.
You can also access the CLI by clicking Web Console - HTML access to the
command line interface from the Cisco Systems Access page. For information
about the Cisco Systems Access page, see the
page 2-35 and the release notes.
Enter the switch password.
The User EXEC prompt appears on the management station.
Copies of the CMS pages you display are saved in your browser memory cache
until you exit the browser session. A password is not required to redisplay
these pages, including the Cisco Systems Access page. You can access the CLI
by clicking Web Console - HTML access to the command line interface
from a cached copy of the Cisco Systems Access page. To prevent
unauthorized access to CMS and the CLI, exit your browser to end the browser
session.
