Chapter 1

Starting and Configuring the HTTP Server

The Bay Networks HTTP Server is an embedded Web-based router management tool included with the Bay Networks router operating system software and accessible from any sta ndard Web browser . Using HTTP Ser ver soft ware, you can monitor network de vices, viewi ng summary, fault, and statisti cal i nforma tion o n a device-by-device basis.

Before you can use the HTTP Server to monitor a router, you must configure and enable the HTTP Server software on the router using the Quick-Start installation script install.bat, the Bay Command Console (BCC™), or Site Manager.

Browser Requirements Starting the HTTP Server Using install.bat

Starting the HTTP Server Using the BCC Starting the HTTP Server Using Site Manager

Setting HTTP Server Security

Go to “Starting and Configuring the HTTP Server.”

Browser Requirements

Your Web browser must support frames, Java applets, and cascading style sheets; for example, Netscape 4.0 or higher and Microsoft higher. If you have changed the default settings for these browsers, you must ensure that Java is enabled. If you configure digest authentication, your browser must be enabled for this capability; oth erwise, authentication reverts to basic.

Caution:

security reasons, it is wise not to store your password.

Starting the HTTP Serve r Us ing

A new router comes wit h a flash mem ory card containing the software im age for the router, two configuration files (config and ti.cfg), and the Quick-Start script install.bat.

The Quick-Start installation scr ipt creates an initial IP network interface on the router, so that your router can communicate with the configuration workstation from which you will manage the rout er. The install.bat script prompts you t o enter the network information that dynamically configures the initia l IP interface .

As the following example shows, the script asks whether you want to enable HTTP. Answer yes to this question. (The default is no.)

Step 7. Enable HTTP

When you enable the HTTP Ser ver duri ng the Qui ck-St art pr ocedur e, you ca n use the HTTP Server with its default configuration settings after completing the install.bat procedure. For information on modifying the default HTTP Server settings, see Customizing HTTP Parameters

After you run the install.bat script, you can install Site Manager software, as described in Quick-Starting Routers.

Starting and Configuring the HTTP Server

Starting the HTTP Serve r Us ing the BCC or Site Manager

If you did not use the Quick-Start procedure to start the HTTP Server, you can start it using the BCC or Site Manager. When you complete this procedure, the HTTP Server software is configured on the router. Before you start the HTTP Server, verify that you have configured IP on an interface.

You can start the HTTP Server using default values for all parameters. For information on modifying the default HTTP Server settings, see Customizing

HTTP Parameters.

Using the BCC

Adding the HTTP Server to a router automatically loads TCP on all slots. To add the HTTP Server to a router, navigate to the box prompt and enter:

Setting HTTP Server S ecurity

The HTTP Server allows access to device information from anywhere in the network. To protect your network information, you can implement security controls. The HTTP Server offers access control through: user name/password security, basic access or digest authentication, and network address filtering.

User Name/Password Security Concepts Basic Access Authentication Digest Authentication Network Address Filtering

1-4 300019-B Rev. 00

User Name/Password Security Concepts

The HTTP Server control s access to network device i nf ormation by grouping that information into col le ction s, call ed realms, that share the same secu rity at tri butes. The HTTP Server defines two security realms on the router: User and Manager. These are the same as the login names for the Technician Interface. Similarly, a user name/password authorization mechanism controls access to each realm.

• User access privileges let you view information.

• Manager access pri vil eges g rant c omple te ac cess t o the r out er, letting you, for example, enable and disable an interface.

Before allowing any Manager-level operations, however, the HTTP Server requires that the system administrator set a nonnull Manager password. If the system administrator does not set a User password, the HTTP Server accepts an empty (null) string as the password. Generally, the system administrator sets passwords using Technician Interface commands, just as for console access through the Technician Interface.

If you have User privileges and attempt to access information requiring Manager privileges (or, if you attempt to use the Manager login with a null password), the HTTP Server prompts you for the Manager password. If you do not provide the appropriate password, an error message appears, and you cannot perform that operation. You control the level of access authentication protection when you configure the Authentication parameter.

Starting and Configuring the HTTP Server

For specific information about how to set user names and passwords, see Using Technician Interface Software. For information about securing a router as part of the Quick-Start procedure, see Quick-Starting Routers.

Basic Access Authentication

In basic access authentication, the user name and password are passed over the network as c lear text. While this serves to verify the identity of the user, the information is vulnerable to anyone with a sniffer or similar device.

300019-B Rev. 00 1-5

Managing Routers Using the HTTP Server

Digest Authentication

Digest authenticati on, based on RFC 2069, uses an encrypte d password to verif y a user’s identity. Like basic access authentication, digest uses a challenge-response model. To use digest authentication, you must configure the HTTP Server Authentication parameter as digest and your browser must be capable of supporting digest authentication. If your browser lacks this capability, the HTTP Server reverts to basic authentication.

Network Address Filtering

For additional security, you can implement IP access control filters when you configure IP on the router. These filters further restrict access to the router, limiting access to specific IP addresses or IP address ranges.

You must also ensure that IP is appropriately configured to support HTTP. To do this, you must ensure that:

• The configuration for the IP service also has HTTP configured.

• The appropriate access policy filters are configured for HTTP.

Specify these req uirements as part of the I P configur ation process, us ing the BCC. For additional information about IP access control filters and how to configure them, see Configuring IP Utilities. For general instructions about using the BCC, see Using the Bay Command Console (BCC).

Using a Domain Name Instead of an IP Address

By specifying the Domain Name parameter, you let the server be accessible by a domain name, rather than by IP address. The Domain Name parameter must be set to the domain name that a DNS lookup would return for the router. The name can consist of any valid string of characters that constitute a domain name.

Accept the default value, no doma in name, to ind icate that the serv er is acc essib le only by the IP address; or specify a domain name to use instead of the IP address.

Go to “Starting and Configuring the HTTP Server

Customizing HTTP Parameters

Adding the HTTP Server to a router automatically enables HTTP on the router using port 80, sets acce ss authen ticati on to basic, an d uses the IP addr ess to access the router. You can change these settings using either the BCC or Site Manager.

Using the BCC

To change these parameter settings, first navigate to the http prompt. To disable http on the router, enter:

For example:

http#

To change the port number, enter:

The HT TP Ser ver is par t o f t he r outer operating system for al l Bay Networks non-VME-based GAME routers. This chapter provides an overview of the HTTP Server.

What the HTTP Server Does Navigating the HTTP Server Interface

To obtain Web-accessible data, you must configure the HTTP Server software on the router. Chapter 1, “Starting and Configuring the HTTP Server the configuration procedure.

What the HTTP Server Does

The HTTP Server is a graphical user interface (GUI) that lets you view real-time device summaries, events, alerts, and statistics. The HTTP Server graphically displays information similar to (and a superset of) the text-only information available through the BCC point-and-clic k interfa ce, you also have dir ect acces s to online document ation and Bay Networks Technical Support.

The information that you gather through the HTTP Server interface can help you monitor your network’s performance on a device-by-de vice basis. You can see, for example, where congestion is occurring or where transmission or reception problems exist. For detailed information about interpreting this information, refer to Troubleshooting Routers and Event Messages for Routers.

Managing Routers Using the HTTP Server

You see a multiframe window when you specify a device in your browser’s location field or when you cli ck on the Su mmary folder icon, the n on the In fo icon in the navigational frame.

• Banner -- The top frame shows the Bay Networks logo and the device type. The banner also identifies the device by name, specifies its physical location and IP address, and lists the name of the contact person responsible for that device. The IP address is a link that you can click on to establish a Telnet connection to the device.

• Navigational frame -- The frame on the left contains links to each m onitored function. Initially, these links are all folders. The folders (and the documents they contain) in the navigational frame are active links to device information.

• Display frame -- The lar ge fr ame on the lower right side displa ys the retr ieved web data.

Navigating the HTTP Server Interface

The navigational frame contains the following expandable folders:

• Summary -- System informa tion, hardware status, PR OM information, software image information, system resource information, and system task information

• Fault -- Circuit alerts and the event log

• Statistics -- Services, ports, and protocols

• Support -- Help, release notes, technical manuals, and customer support links

Click on each folder in turn to display the information for t he device you are monitoring.

• To show the types of data a folder contains, click on the folder icon. The folder opens, revealing document icons representing the types of data within that folder.

• To view a specific data type within a folder, click on its document icon.

• To close (that is, collapse) a folder’s contents, click again on the folder icon.

Fault Major service disruption, usually caused by a configuration, network,

or hardware problem. The entities involved keep restarting until th e

problem is resolved either by the router itself or by you. Warning Service acted in an unexpected manner. Info Routine event. Usually, no action is required. Trace Detailed history of everything that happens on the router. Because of

the amount of information that the Trace function records, Bay
