Access requirements
The Web Management Interface is a browser-based interface that allows administrators to manage and monitor a single Brocade device
or a group of Brocade devices connected together. For many of the features on a Brocade device, the Web Management Interface can
be used as an alternate to the CLI for creating new congurations, modifying existing ones, and monitoring the trac on a device.
The Web Management Interface can be accessed from a management station using a web browser through an HTTP connection. The
management options can be accessed from a menu tree or a list. The menu tree view is available when you use the Web Management
Interface with the following web browsers:
• Netscape 4.0 or higher
• Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher
• Safari 3.1
• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Opera
For all the other older browsers, the Web Management Interface displays only the list view.
NOTE
Web management pages may not get properly displayed with Google Chrome when Network Mapper (Nmap 6.4) is active.
Prerequisite conguration
The following steps must be completed to enable access to the Web Management Interface.
1. Connect a PC via a serial connection to the Brocade switch using the console port. Use a terminal program such as PuTTY to
access the Command Line Interface (CLI).
If the switch is already connected to a network, the switch will automatically receive its IP conguration via DHCP. To check the
IP conguration of the switch, use the show ip command.
If the switch is not connected to a network or you wish to assign an IP address manually, then use the commands described in
step 2, otherwise go to step 3.
FOR BROCADE CONTROLLED RELEASE ONLY
Brocade FastIron Web Management Interface User Guide, 08.0.50
53-1004462-01 13
2. Assign an IP address to the Brocade switch using the Command Line Interface (CLI).
device> enable
device# configure terminal
device(config)# ip address 10.37.71.212/24
device(config)# ip default-gateway 10.37.71.129
For more information on assigning IP addresses for a device, refer to the Brocade FastIron Layer 3 Routing Conguration
Guide.
3. Generate a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certicate and then congure a username and password to log in.
device(config)# crypto-ssl certificate generate
device(config)# username brocade password brocade
device(config)# aaa authentication login default local
device(config)# aaa authentication web-server default local
It may take several minutes to generate the certicate key.
4. Save the conguration.
device(config)# write memory
Logging in to the Web Management Interface
To log in to the Web Management Interface, perform the following steps.
1. Open a web browser and enter the IP address of the management port in the Location or Address eld.
The web browser contacts the Brocade device and displays the login page, as shown in the gure below.
FIGURE 1 Web Management Interface login page
NOTE
If you are unable to connect with the device through a web browser due to a proxy problem, it may be necessary to set
your web browser for direct Internet access instead of using a proxy. For information on how to change a proxy setting,
refer to the online help provided with your web browser.

Displaying RMON history
By default, all active ports generate two history control data entries per active port. An active port is dened as one with a link up. If the
link goes down, the two history entries are automatically cleared.
The following history entries are generated for each device:
• A sampling of statistics every 30 seconds
• A sampling of statistics every 30 minutes
To display Remote Monitoring (RMON) history, perform the following steps.

• To display the current information about the stack modules, click Show Stack Modules . For more information, refer to the
“Displaying a stack module” section.
Viewing stack priority details
The stack unit with the highest priority is the Active Controller (128 by default). The stack unit with the second highest priority is the
Standby Controller, which takes over if the current Active Controller fails.
It is possible to assign the same priority for Active and Standby Controllers, or dierent priorities (Active highest and Standby second-
highest). When the Active and Standby Controllers have the same priority, if the Active Controller fails, the Standby Controller takes over.
If the original Active Controller becomes operational again, it will not be able to resume its original role.
When the priorities of the Active and Standby Controllers are dierent, if the Active Controller fails, the Standby Controller takes over. If
the original Active Controller becomes operational again, the old Active Controller regains its role and resets the other units.
You can assign the same priority to the Active and Standby Controllers after the stack is formed. This prevents the intended Standby
Controller from becoming the Active Controller during stack construction.
To view the priority of the units within a stack, perform the following steps.

Conguring STP
•Conguring STP parameters.....................................................................................................................................................................157
Conguring STP parameters
Brocade Layer 2 switches and Layer 3 switches support standard Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) as described in the IEEE 802.1D
specication.
Each port-based VLAN on a Brocade device runs a separate spanning tree. A Brocade device has one port-based VLAN (VLAN 1) that
contains all the device ports. However, if you congure additional port-based VLANs on a Brocade device, then each of those VLANs on
which STP is enabled and the VLAN 1 run separate spanning trees.
If you congure a port-based VLAN on the device, the VLAN has the same STP state as the default STP state on the device. Thus, by
default on Layer 2 switches, new VLANs have STP enabled and on Layer 3 switches, new VLANs have STP disabled. You can enable or
disable STP in each VLAN separately and also on individual ports.
Using the Web Management Interface, you can change the default STP bridge and port parameters.
Changing STP bridge parameters
The table below lists the default STP bridge parameters.
TABLE 28 Default STP bridge parameters
Parameter Default value
Forward Delay 15 seconds

Performing a trace
Trace Route allows you to trace a path from the Brocade device to an IPv4 host. Trace route requests show all responses to a minimum
Time To Live (TTL) of 1 second and a maximum TTL of 30 seconds. In addition, if there are multiple equal-cost routes to the
destination, the Brocade device displays up to three responses. To run a trace, perform the following steps.
1. Click Command on the left pane and select Trace Route .
The Trace Route window is displayed as shown in the gure below.

4. Type the maximum value of TTL in the Maximum TTL eld. The default is 30.
5. Type the number of seconds the router waits for a reply from the pinged device in the Timeout (Sec) eld.
6. Select the Numeric check box so that, for parameters that require a numeric value, the trace route does not check that the value
you enter is within the allowed range. Instead, if you do exceed the range for a numeric value, the software rounds the value to
the nearest valid value.

Conguring TFTP
When the device reboots, or the auto-conguration feature has been disabled and then re-enabled, the device uses information from the
Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol (DHCP) server to contact the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server to update the running
conguration le. If the DHCP server provides a TFTP server name or IP address, the device uses this information to request les from
the TFTP server. If the DHCP server does not provide a TFTP server name or IP address, the device requests the conguration les
from the DHCP server.
The device requests the conguration les from the TFTP server in the following order:
• Boot le name provided by the DHCP server (if congured)
• Host name MAC address conguration le
• Brocade conguration le
If the device is successful in contacting the TFTP server and the server has the conguration les, the les are merged. If there is a
conict, the server le takes precedence. If the device is unable to contact the TFTP server or if the les are not found on the server, the
TFTP part of the conguration download process ends.
To access the TFTP conguration, perform the following steps.
