Browsing a device

You can right-click a device on the topology map to browse the web server for the device. If a web server is available on port 80, a browser opens and you connect to the device's web server. This feature provides easy access to the selected device, allowing you to view the web page being served by this device. Often, for switches and routers, the browser-based device configuration application launches.

To browse to a device's web server from WhatsConnected:

1. From the main menu of the WhatsConnected console, select View > Topology Maps. The Topology Maps view appears.
2. Right-click on a device that you want to connect to its web server. The right-click menu appears.
3. Click Browse. The device's web server page opens in an internet browser.
