Note: Chapter 5: Web and Command Line Interfaces describes the web interface in detail.
Once the vSLM 2 secure management software has an IP address, you can use the web interface to configure required network parameters that determine how the vSLM 2 software interacts with the attached network. The unit might have a DHCP-assigned IP address or one assigned manually using Detector software or a serial connection to the command line interface. To log in to the web interface:
1. Open a web browser (Internet Explorer® 6.0. and later, or Firefox® 1.5 and later, with JavaScript enabled).
2. In the URL field, type https:// followed by the IP address of your vSLM 2 secure management software.
3. Log in using sysadmin as the user name and PASS as the password. The SLM Configuration page opens.

To enter settings for one network port:
1. On the menu (in the pane on the left), click Configuration > Network Settings. The following page opens:
Figure 3-5 Network - Settings Page
2. Enter the following information for one network port:
Table 3-6 Network Port Settings
Setting Description
Network Port Settings Disabled: This is the default setting for Network Port 2.
Obtain from DHCP: Acquires IP address, subnet mask, and gateway from the DHCP server. (The DHCP server may provide the gateway, depending on its setup.) This is the default setting for Network Port 1. If you select this option, skip to step 3.
Obtain from BOOTP: Lets a network node request configuration information from a BOOTP "server" node. Skip to step 3.
Specify: Requires you to assign a static IP address manually. The administrator generally provides the IP address.
IP Address If specifying an IP address, enter an IP address that will be within a valid range, unique to your network, and in the same subnet mask as your workstation. There is no default.
Note: Enter all IP addresses in dot quad notation.

To view the current IPv4 and IPv6 routing information:
1. On the Network - Settings page, click the Routing tab. The following page opens: Setting Description
Default IP address of the router for this network.
If this has not been set manually, any gateway assigned by DHCP for Network Port 1 or Network Port 2 displays.
All network traffic that matches the Network Port 1 IP address and subnet mask goes out Network Port 1. All network traffic that matches the Network Port 2 IP address and subnet mask goes out Network Port 2.
If you set a default gateway, the vSLM 2 software sends any network traffic that does not match Network Port 1 or Network Port 2 to the default gateway for routing.
DHCP Acquired
(view only)
Gateway assigned by DHCP for Network Port 1 or Network Port 2. The default setting is None.
Precedence Indicates whether the gateway assigned by DHCP or the default gateway takes precedence. The default setting is Default. If you select DHCP, and both network ports are configured for DHCP, the vSLM 2 secure management software gives precedence to the Network Port 1 gateway.
