ROX™ v2.2 User Guide 21 RuggedBackbone™ RX5000

Preface

This guide describes the web-based user interface for the ROX™ version 2.2 Operating System running on the RuggedBackbone™ RX5000 family of products.

Supported Platforms

ROX™2.2 is designed to work on RuggedCom's RuggedBackbone™ and RuggedRouter® hardware platforms. This ensures a consistent user experience when migrating from one product model in the family to another.

ROX™ currently supports the following RuggedCom networking platforms:

• RuggedBackbone™ RX5000 family of rugged, modular, Layer 3 switching multi-service hardware 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.

Applicable Operating System Software Revision

This guide is applicable to ROX™ version 2.2.

Chapter 5, IP Network Interfaces

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™ RX5000 has a different IP address and subnet configured for each of three distinct IP interfaces, each of which is mapped to one or more physical ports:

Interface Name Location IP Address/Mask

fe-cm-1 Interface panel of the CM card 192.168.1.2/24 fe-em-1 Front panel of the chassis (optional) 192.168.2.2/24

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 RX5000 using a web browser, configure the IP address of the web browser’s system to fall within the subnet of the corresponding RX5000 interface. For example, if the web browser system is connected to the Ethernet interface on the RX5000 CM 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 RX5000 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.

Exit Transaction

Exit from configuration editing mode. If there are pending changes, a prompt will be presented to verify the discarding of all pending changes.

1.3.1. Configuring Tables Using Key Settings Forms

Much of the information in ROX™ is organized into tables. Each table is indexed or sorted by a key, which is a piece of information such as a name, address, or other variable. For example, a Chassis Hardware table is indexed by slot name (with the slot name being the key) and a DNS Server table is indexed by IP address (with the IP address being the key). Key information can be added using the key settings forms. To add server information to a DNS server table, for example, add the server address to the key settings form and this information will appear in the DNS server table.

Figure 1.5. Adding Key Information

To add key information to a table, go into the Edit Private mode and enter the information into the key settings form. Click the Commit button. When you have finished making all changes, click the Exit Transaction button to return to the View mode.
