We have to open Firefox from the local machine, to get the GUI we will use MOBATERM (Install xclock package first to test xclock display)

In the following screen of the MOBATERM session of the server ensure that you have X11-Forwarding as enabled. Optionally test an xclock. Start firefox in the background mode

In the firefox browser open the URL http://192.168.1.7:8181/index.html

Use admin as username as well as password in the OpenDayLight DLUX Screen
