Changes to BIG-IQ User Interface¶
The user interface in the 6.0 release navigation has changed to a more UI tab-based framework.
In this section, we will go through the main features of the user interface. Feel free to log into the BIG-IQ (https://192.168.1.50) username: admin password: 401elliottW! device to explore some of these features in the lab.
After you log into BIG-IQ, you will notice:
- A navigation tab model at the top of the screen to display each high level functional area.
- A tree based menu on the left-hand side of the screen to display low-level functional area for each tab.
- A large object browsing and editing area on the right-hand side of the screen.
- Let us look a little deeper at the different options available in the bar at the top of the page.
- At the top, each tab describes a high-level functional area for BIG-IQ central management:
- Monitoring –Visibility in dashboard format to monitor performance and isolate fault area.
- Configuration – Provides configuration editors for each module area.
- Deployment – Provides operational functions around deployment for each module area.
- Devices – Lifecycle management around discovery, licensing and software install / upgrade.
- System – Management and monitoring of BIG-IQ functionality.
- Applications – Build, deploy, monitor service catalog-based applications centrally.
