1 Overview ScreenPlay is a web-based device management tool for all ExtremeXOS-based devices running software version 12.0 or higher. ScreenPlay is launched as a web page on the device. The ScreenPlay client, loaded onto the web browser, uses SOAP over HTTP to communicate with the device using XML APIs. ScreenPlay provides a graphical user interface for the more commonly used CLI commands, with focus on the statistics and monitoring commands.
2 Setting Up ScreenPlay HTTP and HTTPS Setup Client Setup Launching ScreenPlay This section describes the setup process required to use ScreenPlay with the switch and includes the following topics: • HTTP and HTTPS Setup • Client Setup • Launching ScreenPlay HTTP and HTTPS Setup Before you can launch ScreenPlay, you must enable the web server on the switch. You can use either HTTP or HTTPS to access ScreenPlay. Note You must assign an IP address to a VLAN for management access to the switch.
Setting Up ScreenPlay Client Setup You need a standard web browser such as Mozilla Firefox® (version 1.0 or greater) or Internet Explorer® (version 6.0 or greater) with the Adobe Flash® Player 9 plug-in installed. Note ScreenPlay supports up to six concurrent sessions. Launching ScreenPlay 1 To launch ScreenPlay, enter the URL of the switch in the address window of your browser. When ScreenPlay launches, the authentication screen displays, as shown in the figure below.
3 ScreenPlay Dashboard ScreenPlay Common Functions Next, the ScreenPlay Dashboard appears. The dashboard is the home screen, or opening screen, of ScreenPlay. This screen provides you with a one-glance-snapshot of switch status, inventory, and management details. The main dashboard is divided into three information panes that are shown in the figure below and described in the subsequent table.
