Overview

Describes how to use the WebUI for day-one setup, including wizards for configuring LAN and WAN settings, and how to monitor or troubleshoot Plug and Play (PnP) onboarding.

The Web User Interface (Web UI) is an embedded GUI-based device-management tool that provides the ability to provision the device, to simplify device deployment and manageability, and to enhance the user experience. It comes with the default image, so there is no need to enable anything or install any license on the device. You can use WebUI to build configurations, and to monitor and troubleshoot the device without having CLI expertise. This chapter includes these sections:
