ROX™ v2.2 User Guide 24 RuggedBackbone™ RX1500
Preface
Preface
This guide describes the web-based user interface for the ROX™ version 2.2 Operating System running
on the RuggedBackbone™ RX1500 family of products.
Supported Platforms

platforms.
• RuggedBackbone™ RX1500 family of rugged, modular, hot-swappable Layer 3 switching and routing
platforms.
• RuggedRouter® RX1000 family of rugged Cyber-Security Appliances.
Who Should Use This User Guide
This guide is recommended for use by network technical support personnel who are familiar with the
operation of networks. Others who might find the book useful are network and system planners, system
programmers, and line technicians.
How This Guide Is Organized
Part I: Administration
Part I covers the graphical user interface and overall management of the hardware chassis
and operating system, including access control, logging, networking configuration, and time
synchronization.
Part II: Network Interfaces and Ethernet Bridging
Part II covers the configuration and monitoring of the Ethernet bridging functions of the system,
including Ethernet port setup, the Spanning Tree Protocol, and Virtual LANs.
Part III: Routing and Security
Part III covers the configuration and monitoring of layer 3 routing and security functions, including
OSPF, RIP, BGP, Multicast, and the Firewall.
Each part of this guide is organized into chapters that are typically devoted to one particular feature
of the system.
Each chapter discuss mechanisms, protocols, or techniques specific to a particular feature. Many
chapters include a general overview of the feature or protocol to be configured, providing some
background into the feature and how it is used on the device. All chapters present the forms and fields
in the web interface through which you configure the feature.All chapters present the CLI commands
you use to configure the feature.
While every effort is made to ensure the accuracy and completeness of this guide, some
web interface illustrations may not be exactly as shown.

1. The ROX™ Web Interface
1. The ROX™ Web Interface
ROX™ features two primary user interfaces: a web-based interface and a command line interface (CLI).
This user guide documents the usage and structure of the web-based user interface. For details of the
CLI, please refer to the ROX™ Command Line Interface User Guide (in progress).
1.1. Getting Started
1.1.1. Requirements
Accessing the ROX™ web interface for the first time, prior to any system configuration, requires:
• A computer with an installed web browser capable of running JavaScript. ROX™ supports the
following web browsers:
• Microsoft® Internet Exporer 8.0 and higher
• Mozilla Firefox
• GNU Iceweasel
• Google Chrome
• The computer must have a working Ethernet interface, which must be compatible with at least one
of the port types on the RuggedBackbone™ as ordered.
• The ability to configure an IP address and netmask on the computer’s Ethernet interface.
1.1.2. Connecting To The Web Interface
By default, the RuggedBackbone™ RX1500 has a different IP address and subnet configured for each
of two distinct IP interfaces, each of which is mapped to one or more physical ports:
Interface Name Location IP Address/Mask
fe-cm-1 Front panel interface 192.168.1.2/24
All other Ethernet ports LM and SM cards 192.168.0.2/24
Table 1.1. Default IP Address Configuration
In order to connect to the RX1500 using a web browser, configure the IP address of the web browser’s
system to fall within the subnet of the corresponding RX1500 interface. For example, if the web browser
system is connected to the Ethernet interface on the RX1500 front panel:
• The web browser system’s Ethernet interface must be configured with an IP address in the range:
192.168.1.3 to 192.168.1.254.
• The RX1500 is accessible to the web browser at the IP address: 192.168.1.2, the address of the fecm-1 network interface.
1.1.3. The Web Browser Connection
The ROX™ web server uses SSL (Secure Socket Layer) to encrypt data traffic exchanged with its clients
(connections made via "https://"). This guarantees the privacy of communications between browser and
server.
It can happen that upon connecting to the ROX™ web server, some new web browsers
may report that they cannot verify the authenticity of the server’s certificate against any of
their known certificate authorities. This is expected, and it is safe to instruct the browser
to accept the certificate offered by the ROX™ system. Once the browser is instructed to
accept the certificate, all communications with the web server will be secure.
ROX™ v2.2 User Guide 27 RuggedBackbone™ RX1500
1. The ROX™ Web Interface
Start a web browser session and open a connection to the switch by entering a URL that specifies its
IP address (https://192.168.1.2, to continue with the example above). Once the web browser makes
contact with the switch, The resulting page should be the login prompt displayed below:
Figure 1.1. The ROX™ Login Form
Enter the default user name, "admin" and the configured password for the admin user. Click on the
Login button. The switch is shipped with a default administrator password, "admin". If authentication
is successful, the main menu is presented.
1.2. The Structure Of The Web Interface
The system configuration interface (the Configure Running tab) is organized as a hierarchical set of
linked menu entries, which may be traversed using the four-panel navigation window, as illustrated
below.
Figure 1.2. The ROX™ Web Interface
Menu items listed in a panel of the navigation window at a given point in the menu hierarchy may be:
•
Submenus, which are marked using the icon, or
•
Actions, which are marked using the icon.
Note that green submenu icons represent operational data.
ROX™ v2.2 User Guide 28 RuggedBackbone™ RX1500
1. The ROX™ Web Interface
Tables and forms relevant to the selected menu item appear below the navigation window.
The icons in the upper left corner of the forms and tables are used to signify the type of content
represented in each form or table.
•
The green arrow icon signifies operational data.
•
The key icon signifies the key in key settings.
•
The blue globe icon signifies the global group (a high-level grouping of items).
•
The pencils and protractor icon signifies configuration data.
•
The paper and pencil icon signifies results. This icon is usually found on a form where there are
parameters to enter.
Every web page in the ROX™ user interface has a header, illustrated above, containing:
•
The ROX™ and RuggedCom logos and a Logout button, which terminates the current web
session.
• The tabs: Configure Running and Tools.
The Configure Running tab selects the configuration interface described above. A menu bar below the
page header displays the following editing mode controls:
• View: View configuration settings only.
• Edit Private: Enter a configuration editing mode where you can make changes to the system. Your
changes are applied to the active system only when you commit them. Edit sessions are self
contained: the changes made in your edit session are not visible to other users in other edit sessions.
• Edit Exclusive: Enter a configuration editing mode where, after committing your changes, you can
specify a timeout period to test the changes. At the end of the timeout period, your changes to revert
back to the original settings. Use this mode when you want to test changes before committing them
permanently. When you click Commit, a dialog prompts you to set a commit timeout. Type a value
and select a unit of time. ROX temporarily applies your changes to the active system for the specified
time. To cancel the commit and discard the changes, click Abort Commit before the time elapses.
To permanently commit your changes, click Commit before the time elapses.
In many cases, the tables appear on a screen closer to the top level and clicking on one of the submenus
brings up the form(s) associated with the table. For example, clicking on the Chassis menu and then
the Hardware submenu will display the Slot Hardware table. Further clicking on the pm1 submenu will
display the Slot Hardware form.
The Tools tab displays a menu of tools in the menu bar, with the following structure:
• Device Info: displays text from various system logs. You can specify the number of lines to view and
a text filter.
• Messages Viewer: displays all events from /var/log/messages.
• Syslog Viewer: displays syslog events from /var/log/syslog.
• Authlog Viewer: displays authentication events from /var/log/auth.log.
• Layer2log Viewer: displays Layer 2 events from /var/log/layer2.
• Kernlog Viewer: displays kernel events from /var/log/messages.
