Chassis Viewer

Chassis Viewer is QLogic’s browser-based device management software.

Chassis Viewer provides the primary management interface for the QLogic 12000

switches, allowing the user to perform management, configuration, and monitoring

tasks related to InfiniBand networks.

Chassis Viewer runs on the firmware of the 12300 and each management module

of the 12800 series. The browser must be on a workstation which has IP

connectivity to the LAN port (RJ-45 connector) on the switch.

 To access Chassis Viewer, point a browser to the IP address of the switch.

For a list of supported browsers, please refer to the QLogic 12000 Release

Notes.

 If user authentication is enabled, the User Authentication window shown in

Figure 1-1 is displayed:
