1.5.4. 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.
