Preface

This guide describes the do to start and customize the HTTP Serv er on a Bay Networks® router.

You can use the Bay Command Console (BCC HTTP Server on a router. In this guide, you will find instructions for using both the BCC and Site Manager .

Before You Begin

Before using this guide, you must complete the following procedure s. For a new router:

• Install the router (see the inst allation guide that came with your router).

• Connect the router to the network and create a pilot configuration file (see

Quick-Starting Routers, Configuring BayStack Remote Access, or Connecti ng ASN Routers to a Network).

Make sure tha t you are running the latest version of Bay Networks BayRS Site Manager software. For information about upgrading BayRS and Site Manager, see the upgr ading guide for your version of B ayRS.

Starting the HTTP Server

The Bay Networks® HTTP Server is an embedded Web-based device management tool accessible from a ny standard W eb browser. The HTTP Server is included with the Bay Networks router operating system software . Using HTTP Server softw are, you can monitor network devi ces, viewing summary, fault, and statistical inf ormation on a device-by-device basis.

Before you can use the HTTP Server to monitor a router, you must ensure that your browser is at the corr ect version and that its setti ngs are appropriate to support the HTTP Server softwa re. You must also configure and enable the HTTP Server softw are on the router using the Quick-Start installation script install.bat, Site Manager, or the Bay Command Console (BCC

™

This chapter describes how you do each of these tasks.

Managing Your Network Using the HTTP Server

Browser Requirements

The HTTP Server softwar e requires a Web browser that suppor ts frames, such as Netscape 3.0 or higher and Microsoft® Internet Expl orer® 3.0 or higher. You can use the default se ttings f or thes e browse rs. If you hav e change d these set tings, you must ensure that Java is enabled.

Internet Explorer all ows you to store your browser password. For

Note:

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

Starting the HTTP Server Using

A new router comes with a flash memory card containing the software image for the router , two configuration files (conf ig and ti.cfg), and the Quick-Start scrip t install.bat.

The Quick-Start installation script creates an initial IP network int erface 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 prompt s you to ent er the network information that dynamically configur es the initial IP interface.

As the following exa mple shows, step 7 of the script asks whether you want to enable HTTP. Answer yes to this question. (The default is no.)

Starting the HTTP Server

When you enable the HTTP Server during the Quick-St art procedure , you can use the HTTP Server after completing the install.bat proc edure . I f necessary, you can modify the default HTTP Serv e r settings (see Chapter 9, “Customizing HTTP Server Parameters).

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

Starting the HTTP Server Using 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. Before you start the HTTP Server, verify that you configured IP on an interface.

You can start the HTTP Server using defa ult values for all parameters. If you decide to change any of the default value s, see Chapter 9, “Customizing HTTP Server 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:

htt

For example, the following command adds HTTP Server to a router:

box#

htt

HTTP Server Concepts

With HTTP Server sof twar e, you can acce ss de vice inform ation f rom anywher e in the network using an y stan dard Web browser that conform s to HTTP and HTML specific ations. The HTTP Server is part of the router operating system for all Bay Networks non-VME-based GAME routers. This chapter provides an overview of the HTTP Server.

What the HTTP Server Does

The HTTP Server is a graphical user inte rface (GUI) that lets you vie w real -time device sum maries, events, alerts, and statistics.

Managing Your Network Using the HTTP Server

The information that you gathe r through the HTTP Server interface can help you monitor your net work’s performance on a de vice -by- de vice basis. You can see, for example, where conges tion is occurring or where transmission or reception problems exist .

HTTP Server Concepts

This is the first window you see when you specify a device or when you click on the Summary folder ic on, then on the Info icon in the navigational frame. The top frame is the banner; it 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 Tel net connection to the device.

The first three rows of the display frame (System Infor mation) repeat the device name, location, and contac t inf ormation. This frame also provide s the following information:

• Up Time -- time elapsed since the last device reset

• MIB Version -- version num ber of the management information base ( MIB) for the router sof twar e

• Software Version -- version number and creation date and time of the router software image

The navigational frame contains links to each monitored function. Initially, these links are all folders.

Navigating the HTTP Server Interface

The folders (and the documents they contain) in the naviga tional frame are active links to devic e information. Figure 2-2 navigat ional frame.

This frame contains expandable folders. Clicking on a folde r shows its contents. Click on a document to vie w it s infor mation in the displ ay frame. To close (that is, collapse) a folder’s contents, click again on the folder icon.

Initially, the navigational frame contains the f ollowing folders:

• Summary -- System information, hardware status, PROM infor mation, 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, tec hnical manuals, and customer support links

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

Chapter 3, “

ava ilable with the HTTP Server. Chapters 4 through 8 provide a catalog of the summary, fault, and statistical displays available when you clic k on the various folders in the navigational frame.
