Access the Catalyst Center GUI:

1. After the Catalyst Center appliance reboot completes, launch a compatible, HTTPS-enabled browser.

2. Enter the host IP address to access the Catalyst Center GUI, using HTTPS:// and the IP address of the Catalyst Center GUI, which appears at the end of the configuration process.

   After entering the IP address, one of these messages appears (depending on the browser you are using):

   • Google Chrome: Your connection is not private

   • Mozilla Firefox: Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

3. Click Advanced to continue.

   One of these messages appears:

   • Google Chrome:

     This server could not prove that it is GUI-IP-address; its security certificate is not trusted by your computer's
      operating system. This may be caused by a misconfiguration or an attacker intercepting your connection.

   • Mozilla Firefox:

     Someone could be trying to impersonate the site and you should not continue.
     Websites prove their identity via certificates.
     Firefox does not trust GUI-IP-address because its certificate issuer is unknown,
     the certificate is self-signed, or the server is not sending the correct intermediate certificates.

   These messages appear because the controller uses a self-signed certificate. For information about how Catalyst Center uses certificates, refer to "Certificate and private key support" in the Cisco Catalyst Center Administrator Guide.

4. Do one of these tasks to continue:

   • Google Chrome: Click the Proceed to GUI-IP-address (unsafe) link.

   • Mozilla Firefox: Click Accept the Risk and Continue.
