Access requirements

The Web Management Interface is a browser-based interface that allows administrators to manage and monitor a single RUCKUS device or a group of RUCKUS devices connected together. For many of the features on a RUCKUS device, the Web Management Interface can be used as an alternate to the CLI for creating new configurations, modifying existing ones, and monitoring the traffic on a device.

The Web Management Interface can be accessed from a management station using a web browser through an HTTP connection.

Note: The Web Management Request will be rejected during HTTPS image download. The device will respond with 503 service unavailable. In such case, please wait till the HTTPS image download is complete, and try Web UI access.

The management options can be accessed from a menu tree or a list. The menu tree view is available when you use the Web Management Interface with the following web browsers:

  • Netscape 4.0 or higher
  • Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher
  • Safari 3.1
  • Google Chrome
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Opera

For all the other older browsers, the Web Management Interface displays only the list view.

Note: Web management pages may not get properly displayed with Google Chrome when Network Mapper (Nmap 6.4) is active.
