Logging In to the MM910 WebUI

Scenarios

Log in to the HMM WebUI using a browser.

• If there are five consecutive attempts to log in to the MM910 WebUI with incorrect passwords, the account is locked. It will be automatically unlocked after 10 minutes. If you enter a password within this time, the lock is reset to 10 minutes even if the password is correct.
• An account can log in to the HMM WebUI only through one IP address at a time. If an account is logged in and then logs in through another IP address, the account will be logged out.
• After logging in to the MM910 CLI or WebUI, you are logged out of the management UI if you do not perform any operation within a specified time period. The default lockout duration of the CLI is 2 minutes and that of the WebUI is 5 minutes. You can change the values as required.
• The MM910 supports a maximum of 32 clients to log in to the WebUI and 100 clients to log in to the CLI at the same time.
• "This is the standby MM" is displayed for the WebUI of the standby MM910. The standby MM910 WebUI does not display component installation status. On the WebUI of the standby MM910, you can only view monitoring information about the active MM910, set the DHCP and static IP addresses, and set and query the thresholds and hysteresis of the sensors of the standby MM910. To perform other operations, log in to the WebUI of the active MM910.
• For details about the operations on the WebUI, see the Online Help.

Prerequisites

Conditions

The client (a PC) used to access the HMM WebUI must meet the requirements listed in Table 6-1.

This task uses Internet Explorer 11 in Windows 7 as an example.

User name and password for logging in to the server

Procedure

1. Connect the local PC to the MM910.
   • Connect the network port of the local PC to the MGMT port of the active or standby MM910.

     Figure 6-7 shows the network connections.

     Figure 6-7 Network connections
     

     If the MGMT port on the active MM910 is already connected with a network cable, do not remove the network cable from the MGMT port. Otherwise, an active/standby switchover of the MM910s will be triggered, which may cause network interruption.

     The MM910 management port is provided by either of the following modes:

     • An Ethernet port on the switch module in slot 2X or 3X.

       However, if a CX910/CX911/CX912/CX913 is in slot 2X or 3X, only a GE port can be used; if a CX920 is in slot 2X or 3X, only a 10GE port can be used. The CX910/CX911/CX912/CX913 are not recommended for providing the management port of the management module.

     • MGMT port on the MM910 panel
     • For the MM910 (U54)2.25 or earlier, the management port is provided by the switch module by default. For the MM910 (U54)2.26 or later, the management port is provided by the MM910 by default. For details about how to query the MM910 version, see MM910 Management Module V100R001 User Guide.
     • You can run the outportmode command to change the mode in which the MM910 management port is provided. If the switch module in slot 2X or 3X is used to provide the management port, do not connect the MM910 MGMT port and the switch module ports to the same network. Otherwise, a network storm will occur and the network will be interrupted. For details, see MM910 Management Module V100R001 Command Reference.
   • Connect the network port of the local PC to the MGMT or STACK port of the active MM910.
     • If the MGMT port of the active MM910 is available, use this port. Figure 6-8 shows the connection.
       Figure 6-8 Connection between the local PC and the active MM910 (in slot MM2 in this example)
       
     • If the MGMT port of the active MM910 is unavailable, connect the PC to the STACK port of the active MM910. If the STACK port is used to stack the MGMT port in another chassis, connect the PC to an idle STACK port on an active MM910 in a chassis cascaded with the E9000 chassis. Figure 6-9 shows the connection.

       If the MGMT port on the active MM910 is already connected with a network cable, do not remove the network cable from the MGMT port. Otherwise, an active/standby switchover of the MM910s will be triggered, which may cause network interruption.

2. Set an IP address and a subnet mask or add route information for the PC, and ensure that the PC can properly communicate with the MM910.
3. Open Internet Explorer, click and choose Internet Options.

   The Internet Options dialog box is displayed.

4. Choose Connections and click LAN Settings.

   The LAN Settings dialog box is displayed.

5. In the Proxy server group box, deselect Use a proxy server for your LAN and click OK.

   The LAN Settings dialog box is closed.

6. Click OK.

   The Internet Options dialog box is closed.

7. Open Internet Explorer again, enter https://MM910 floating IP address, for example https://192.168.2.3, in the address box, and press Enter.

   You can query or configure the MM910 floating IP address in any of the following ways:

   • Use the chassis intelligent display. For details, see the E9000 Chassis Intelligent Display V100R001 Parameter Reference.
   • Use the HMM WebUI. For details, see "Configuring the MM910 IP Addresses" in the MM910 Management Module V100R001 User Guide.
   • Run the floatip command on the MM910 CLI. For details, see the MM910 Management Module V100R001 Command Reference.

   The message "There is a problem with this website's security certificate" is displayed.

8. (Optional) Add the MM910 IP address to the Trusted sites zone.

   By default, Internet Explorer enhanced security configuration is enabled on the Windows Server series OSs. To ensure a successful login to the HMM WebUI, add the MM910 IP address to the trusted sites zone as follows:

   1. On Internet Explorer, choose Tools > Internet Options.

      The Internet Options dialog box is displayed.

   2. Click the Security tab.
   3. Click Trusted sites, and click Sites.
   4. In the Trusted sites dialog box, click Add to add the MM910 IP address to the trusted site list, and click Close.
   5. Refresh the page.
   6. In the status bar of the browser, check whether the MM910 IP address is in the Trusted sites zone.

9. Click Continue to this website (not recommended).

   The HMM WebUI login page is displayed.

10. Set the login parameters.

    The login page varies slightly with the HMM software version.

    • Language: Select the language to be used.
