Prev Next

Besides using CLI commands, you can view and configure fail-open switch settings for an active fail-open switch through a web console called the Web Manager. You can restrict or permit access to the Web Manager depending on your preferences.

The web interface for fail-open switch model1 allows you to manage the following functions:

  • Configuration of general fail-open switch parameters, such as IPv4 address, subnet mask, and gateway IPv4 address.

  • Enabling tap mode for the fail-open switch

  • Returning from tap mode to inline mode

  • Configuration of notifications through SNMP traps

Follow these steps to access the Web Manager.

  1. Open a browser such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox.

  2. In the address bar, enter the fail-open switch IP address.

    You will be prompted for the username and password.

  3. Enter the username and password. The default username and password are Trellix.

  4. Submit credentials.

The Web Manager appears where you can modify the fail-open switch parameters.
