New Embedded Web GUI for FX2 FN IOM and M1000e MIOA (not MXL)1
Embedded Web GUI offers rich provisioning and monitoring unlike CMC
Today CMC has limited provisioning and monitoring capabilities such as VLAN assignment. Embedded GUI offers a lot more functionalities.
• Changing the operational mode of the device
• Enable/Disable ports
• Provisioning TACACS+/RADIUS
• Monitoring health and details status, alerts and activities etc.
