Simple Switch Configuration with Chalet

Chalet is a web-based user interface for setting up and viewing information about a switch. Chalet removes the need to know and remember commands in a CLI environment. Viewable on desktop and mobile with a quick login and intuitive navigation, Chalet features an Quick Setup mode for configuring a switch in a few simple steps. Basic data surrounding port utilization, power, and Quality of Service (QoS) are available, and more advanced users can configure multiple VLANs, and create Access Control Lists (ACLs).

Chalet helps you interact with the switch outside of a CLI environment and allows you to easily:

Configure the switch for the first time without the use of a console cable.
Create and upload files to and from the switch.
Install software images and modules directly on the switch.
View status and details of the switch and its slots and ports.
Analyze power efficiency of power supplies, fans, and PoE ports.
Create VLANs and ACL policies.
Enable and disable multiple features, including QoS, auto-negotiation, and flooding.
View recent system events.
View device topology (stacked switches only).
Manage users, including defining global and individual security policies.

Note

Beginning with version 31.4, access to the switch through Chalet is limited to only Admin users. Read-only users do not have access to the switch through the Chalet interface. This restriction is included due to security concerns.

For instructions about setting up, logging in, configuring, and monitoring your switch, see Switch Configuration with Chalet for ExtremeXOS 21.x and 22.x.
