RabbitMQ is a full-featured message hub that is very powerful and flexible in what it can do. There is a lot to RabbitMQ and it may be intimidating to some users less familiar with networking. Fortunately, we only need to use a few pieces right now, and in the future we will explore more functionality.

For now, though, open up a browser and follow along these steps to explore the hub's management interface:

1. Navigate your browser to http://localhost:15672/ and you should see a login dialog.
2. Enter the username as guest and the password as guest. These are the default credentials and should work unless you've configured it otherwise. 
3. After you log in, you will see the RabbitMQ interface:

4. There is a lot going on here, so for now just click around and explore the various options. Avoid changing any settings, at least for now and until requested to do so. RabbitMQ is very powerful, but we all know that with great power comes great responsibility.

Now, currently, your message queue is empty, so you won't see a lot of activity, but we will soon resolve that in the next section, where we learn how to send and receive messages to and from the queue.
