5 Chapter 2 ArubaOS-CX Web UI ArubaOS-CX Web UI overview The ArubaOS-CX Web UI provides quick and easy visibility into what is happening on your switch. With the Web UI, you get faster problem detection, diagnosis, and resolution. You can use the Web UI to do the following: Monitor the status of a switch from a single pane showing easy to read indicators for: power supply, temperature, fans, CPU use, memory use, log entries, system information, firmware, interfaces, VLANs, and LAGs. Locate issues when indicators turn red and quickly drill down to diagnose the problem. Get extensive access to view and configure Network Analytics Engine agents, scripts, and alerts. Modify some aspects of the switch configuration. You can add or delete users, change passwords, configure name server addresses, upload firmware updates, upload configurations, and create checkpoints. Run diagnostics including the ping, traceroute, and showtech commands. You can also reboot the switch. Configuring the management interface and enabling REST access To access the ArubaOS-CX Web UI, the management interface must be set up and REST access enabled on the switch. Procedure 1. Configure the management interface using the CLI on the switch. A sample set of configuration commands to ensure that the management interface is up and has an IP for Web UI access follows: switch# configure terminal switch(config)# interface mgmt switch(config-if-mgmt)# no shutdown switch(config-if-mgmt)# ip dhcp switch(config-if-mgmt)# exit If not using DHCP, use the following commands instead: switch(config-if-mgmt)# ip static <A.B.C.D/M> switch(config-if-mgmt)# default-gateway <X.Y.Z.A> To ssh to the switch remotely: Chapter 2 ArubaOS-CX Web UI 5

6 switch(config)# ssh server vrf mgmt 2. Out of the box, the switch has a default user named admin without a password. The admin user must set a valid password before enabling REST through https-server. Otherwise, you will be prompted with the error: Failed to enable https-server on VRF mgmt. 'admin' password is not set. The admin user can set the password using the command: switch(config)# user admin password Changing password for user admin Enter password: ***** Confirm new password: ***** switch(config)# 3. Enable REST access using the following command: switch(config)# https-server vrf mgmt Accessing the ArubaOS-CX Web UI Prerequisites Use a supported browser to access the Web UI, such as Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari.

Your Hewlett Packard Enterprise authorized service provider will determine whether a repair can be accomplished by CSR. For more information about CSR, contact your local service provider or go to the CSR website: Remote support Remote support is available with supported devices as part of your warranty or contractual support agreement.
