HTTP Server Concepts
HTTP Server software lets you access device information from anywhere in the
network using any standard Web browser that conforms to HTTP and HTML
specifications. The HTTP Server is part of the router operating system for all Bay
Networks non-VME-based GAME routers. This chapter provides an overview of
the HTTP Server.
What the HTTP Server Does
Navigating the HTTP Server Interface
To obtain Web-accessible data, you must configure the HTTP Server software on
the router. Chapter 1, “Starting and Configuring the HTTP Server
,” summarizes
the configuration procedure.
What the HTTP Server Does
The HTTP Server is a graphical user interface (GUI) that lets you view real-time
device summaries, events, alerts, and statistics. The HTTP Server graphically
displays information similar to (and a superset of) the text-only information
available through the BCC
show
,
enable
, and
disable
commands. Through this
point-and-click interface, you also have direct access to online documentation and
Bay Networks Technical Support.
The information that you gather through the HTTP Server interface can help you
monitor your network’s performance on a device-by-device basis. You can see, for
example, where congestion is occurring or where transmission or reception
problems exist. For detailed information about interpreting this information, refer
to Troubleshooting Routers and Event Messages for Routers.
