5 Using the HP WebAgent
Overview
The HP web browser interface (WebAgent) built into the switch lets you easily access the switch
from a web browser. You can do the following:
• Optimize your network uptime by using the Alert Log and other diagnostic
tools
• Make configuration changes to the switch
• Maintain security by configuring usernames and passwords
• Monitor the status of system configurations, power management, and traffic
management
This chapter covers the following:
• “General features” (page 45)
• “Starting the WebAgent” (page 46)
• “Tasks for your first WebAgent session” (page 47)
• “Online Help for the WebAgent” (page 48)
• “Connecting to the WebAgent from HP PCM+” (page 48)
NOTE: You can disable access to the WebAgent by either executing no web-management at
the CLI prompt or changing the Web Agent Enabled parameter setting to No in the menu interface.
