November 2009 Using WebView 13
The switch can be configured and monitored using WebView,
Alcatel-Lucent’s Web-based device management tool.
WebView software is pre-installed in the switch; you are not
required to load additional software.
Note. Although WebView software is pre-installed, you
must first enable HTTP sessions for your switch before
you can log in. Refer to “Unlocking Session Types” on
page 9 for more information.
Browser Compatibility
The following Web browsers are recommended for use with
WebView:
• Internet Explorer 6.0 and later for Windows NT, 2000,
XP, 2003, Vista.
• Netscape 7.1 for Windows NT, 2000, XP, Vista
• Netscape 7.0 for Solaris SunOS 5.8
Logging In to WebView
Note. Before attempting to establish a WebView session,
be sure that you have first unlocked the HTTP session
type via the aaa authentication command. Otherwise, a
login error will occur. See “Unlocking Session Types” on
page 9 for more information.
To access WebView and log in to a switch:
1 Ensure there is proper IP connectivity between the PC
and the OmniSwitch
2 Open any Alcatel-Lucent supported Web browser.
3 Enter the switch’s IP address in the browser’s
“Address” field.
