This chapter describes how to use the web interface to manage the a Cisco CPE device.
The web interface is designed for individuals who prefer a GUI program or who are familiar with these navigational principles. The web interface enables you to set some configuration parameters in the browser, and to view other settings. The view-only functions are marked as "Display Only."
Microsoft Internet Explorer 2.0 the Cisco 67x web interface. You must use Netscape 4.0 or higher or Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher for the web interface.
 |
Note The web interface may not be available for certain Cisco CPE device configurations. Contact your service provider if you have questions concerning this feature. |
The user password comes in two modes: Exec (read-only), and Enable (both read and write). You must have Enable privileges to save changes made via the web interface to NVRAM.
Click Submit Changes and Write in the Configure menu to make changes to NVRAM.
 |
Caution The system disregards all changes when rebooted if you have not written the changes to NVRAM. |
Do the procedure below to activate the web interface.
Step 1 Logon to CBOS using either a serial or telnet interface.
Step 2 Enter the exec password.
Step 3 Enter the user name enable and press Enter to bypass the initial password if you have not yet created a password. If you have already created a password, proceed to Step 8.
|
Note Your service provider may assign a user password. |
Step 4 On the CPE, set the address for the remote client. Enter:
set web remote n.n.n.nwhere n.n.n.n is the IP address of the remote client. For example:
set web remote 192.168.0.100 |
Note Only the remote client with that IP address will be able to access the CPE web interface. |
Step 5 To save the new configuration, enter:
cbos>writeStep 6 The web interface is enabled by default; however, if it was previously disabled, you must enable it with the following command:
cbos>set web enabledStep 7 Reboot the CPE.
Step 8 On the remote client, launch your preferred web browser.
Step 9 Enter the IP address assigned by your Cisco CPE service provider in the browser locator field. For example, instead of http//www.cisco.com/ insert the dotted decimal format (http://10.0.0.1/ ) of the Cisco 67x IP address. The following screen appears:
|
Note Screens displayed here are representative of screens in the web interface. Screens for your particular Cisco 67x may vary slightly. |
Step 10 Enter the user name and the password.
Step 11 Once the web interface home page appears, you should add a bookmark in your browser for the new Cisco 67x location. Once the bookmark has been added, simply activate the bookmark to access the web interface.
|
Note If you have an exec-only password, you will not be able to make any changes to your configuration. |
When you start he Cisco web interface you first see the home page.
The web interface home page has four buttons that link to other pages. To navigate to the various pages, click the icon or on the appropriate word in the navigation line at the bottom of each page. The purpose of each of the pages is as follows:
Click Configure. Five sub buttons appear in the exec mode. A sixth button, the Write button, appears in the enable mode only.
The functions for each button are explained in the following sections.
The General button allows you to set general configuration parameters, such as the IP address and netmask of the Cisco 67x, the VC base and count metrics, and the DSL rate configuration. The three sections of the General Configuration screen and instructions on how to use these options are described below.
This option allows you to set the IP address and netmask for the Ethernet port of your Cisco equipment. Changing IP addresses will disconnect the web interface. You must reconnect using the new IP address.
