The NETLAB+ web interface supports the latest versions of most browsers based on Chromium or WebKit.
Google Chrome
Safari
Mozilla Firefox

If the default password netlab was used, you will be prompted to
change the password during the first login. Password requirements can be
controlled by the system administrator, but the default settings require
a password that is at least 8 characters long.
Important
The NETLAB+ Administrator account does not allow multiple login sessions to run concurrently. If the administrator account is currently in use, a subsequent login will terminate the existing session.
A warning will display if the administrator account is currently in use, allowing the user to choose to continue logging in (which will terminate the existing session) or cancel and return to the login page. This can help prevent interruptions when working with others or when interacting with NDG Support.
Home Page¶
After a successful login, the Administrator Home page will be
displayed. The home page is abbreviated using the icon throught the
documentation. The functions in the main panel include displaying various system
logs and alerts, user management, pods and infrastructure, and content
management. Select any function by clicking on the icon or the function name. On
the right, system information is displayed.
