The basic navigation elements are as follows:

  • Title bar – This displays the appliance model number, Host IP Address for the appliance, the version of the software package currently running on the appliance, and the user name for the current login session. The title bar also contains the Logout button for terminating the session.

  • Main menu bar – This is the bar displayed below the title bar on every Management Web Interface screen. This contains the section tabs for displaying the navigation tree and pages for a selected section.

  • Section tabs – The section tabs are located in the main menu bar at the top of the page. These are the top-level categories for the Web Management Interface pages and forms. Each section has its own navigation tree for navigating the page hierarchy in that section. Click a section tab to display the navigation tree for that section.

  • Navigation tree – The navigation tree is located in the left pane, below the main menu bar. This displays the navigation tree for a section. Click a section tab to display the navigation tree for that section. The navigation tree offers the following display and navigation options:

    • Click a section tab to display the navigation tree and page hierarchy for that section.

    • Click + (plus sign) next to a branch in the tree to reveal the available pages for that branch topic.

    • Click a page name to display that page in the page area.

    • Click – (minus sign) next to a branch item to close the branch.

  • Breadcrumbs – This displays the navigation path to the current page. The breadcrumbs are at the top of the page area, just below the main menu bar. Active navigation links display in blue font. The name of the current page is displayed in black bold font.

  • Page area – This is the page display and work area for the selected page. Select an item in the navigation tree to display the default page for that item.

  • Page tabs – Some pages contain tabs for displaying more child pages for that topic or configuration form. These are located at the top of the page area, just below the breadcrumbs display. Sometimes (as for the Change Management wizard), tabs are located in the left pane of the page area, between the navigation tree and the work area of the page.

  • Page area resizing – For some pages, you can grow or shrink the width of the page area (or sections of it) to reveal more fields in a table or form. Where this is the case, there is a gray, vertical resize bar on the right border of a page area pane, form, or table. Roll your cursor over the resize bar until the cursor changes to a bi-directional arrow. Then click and drag the bar to the right or left to grow or shrink the area width.

    If the resize bar is not available for a page, you can click and drag the right edge of your browser to display the full page.
