Accessing the web interface

Important: Make sure that you use IPv4 compatible addresses to access the WhatsUp Gold web interface.

You can connect to the WhatsUp Gold web interface from any supported browser by entering the WhatsUp Gold web address. This web address consists of the hostname or IP address of the WhatsUp Gold host and the web server port number.

For example, if your WhatsUp Gold host is named monitor1.ipswitch.com, and it is connected to default port 80 then the web address is:
http://monitor1.ipswitch.com
- or -
http://monitor1.ipswitch.com:80

Note: When you use the default web server port (80), you do not have to include the port in the address, but all other ports require the port number following the url.

There are two default users on the Web server:
