Using Controller Web User Interface

The Web User Interface is built into each Cisco Wireless LAN Controller. The Web User Interface allows

up to five users to simultaneously browse into the built-in controller http or https (http + SSL) Web

server, configure parameters, and monitor operational status for the controller and its associated access

points.

Because the Web User Interface works with one controller at a time, the Web User Interface is especially

useful when you wish to configure or monitor a single controller and its associated access points.

Note Cisco strongly recommends that you enable the https: and disable the http:interfaces to ensure more

robust security for your Cisco WLAN Solution. For information on disabling http: interface, refer to

HTTP Configuration.

Note Some popup window filters can be configured to block the Web User Online Help windows. If your

system cannot display the Online Help windows, disable or reconfigure your browser popup filter

software.

A typical Web User Interface page consists of five areas. The following figure illustrates them.
