The Web Management Interface chapter describes how to use your web browser to manage the a Cisco router.
The Web Management Interface is designed for individuals who prefer a GUI program, or who are familiar with web-based navigational principles. The Web Browser Interface enables you to set some configuration parameters in the browser, and to view other settings. The view-only functionalities are marked as "Display Only."
Internet Explorer 2.0 from Microsoft is incompatible with the Cisco 67x router. You must use Netscape 3.01 or higher or Internet Explorer 3.01 or higher for the Cisco Web Management Interface.
The user password comes in two modes: Exec, or read-only, and Enable. You must have Enable privileges to save changes made via the Web interface to NVRAM.
You must click on the Submit Changes button and issue a write command (at the command line interface) to apply any changes though the Web Management Interface.
Do the following to write to NVRAM.
Step 2 Logon to the CBOS using either the serial or Telnet interfaces.
Step 3 Write changes to NVRAM:cbos>write
Step 4 Reboot the system.cbos>reboot
The system disregards all changes when rebooted if you have not written the changes to NVRAM.
Do the procedure below to activate the Web Management Interface.
Step 2 Enter the user name exec or 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 6.
Step 3 To set a new password for the exec login, enter:cbos>set password exec new-password
Set a new password for user logins by substituting enable for exec in the above example.
Step 4 To save the new password, enter:cbos>write
Step 5 Enable the Web Management Interfacecbos>set web enabled
Step 6 Launch your preferred web browser.
Step 7 Enter the IP address for the Cisco 67x Web Management page 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:
Step 8 Enter the user name and the password.
Step 9 Once the Web Management 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 Management Interface. Figure 6-2, on page 6-4 shows the interface home page.
The screen below is the Cisco Web Management Interface home page.

Click on the Configure button and five sub buttons appear.
The functions for each button are explained below.
The General button allows you to set general configuration parameters, such as the IP address of the Cisco 67x, the ADSL values given to you by your service provider, and the VC base and count metrics. 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 address and netmask for the Ethernet port of your Cisco equipment.
To use this option:
Step 2 To apply these addresses, click on the Submit Changes button.
Step 3 To reject these addresses, click on the Reset Values button.
Step 4 The new addresses are displayed.
This option allows you to set the up and downstream rates for your ADSL connection.
This option allows you to set up the total number of VPI addresses that you can configure. The VC Base drop down menu allows you to choose a base address, normally one greater than zero. The VC Count drop down menu allows you to specify the number of Virtual Paths to be supported by the Cisco equipment you are using.
To use this option:
Step 2 To apply these numbers, click on the Submit Changes button.
Step 3 To reject these numbers, click on the Reset Values button.
Click on the Apps button and the Application Configuration screen appears. The Apps button allows you to enable and disable applications associated with the Cisco 67x.

Click on the Filtering button and the Filter Configuration screen appears. This option allows you to set up filters to prevent or allow the flow of IP packets into Cisco Equipment.
Step 2 Set filters by completing the sentence.
Step 3 Select either the enabled or disabled option from drop down menu to activate a filter.
Step 4 Select either the allow or deny option from the drop down menu. The allow option allows the specified filter to accept packets from a particular IP address. The deny option does not permit these packets to flow to a particular IP address.
Step 5 Enter the source address and netmask of where the packet is originating. The source address is the IP address of the source computer from which you will allow or deny traffic. The source netmask is the source network from which you will allow or deny traffic. By entering a source netmask, you can filter a group of incoming IP addresses.
Step 6 Enter the destination address and netmask. The destination address is the IP address of the computer that, if allowed, will receive packets originating from the source IP address. The destination netmask is the destination network that, if allowed, will receive packets originating from the source netmask. By entering a destination netmask, you can filter a group of outgoing IP addresses.
Step 7 Select the interface that this filter affects from the drop down menu. Select the all option for all interfaces.
Step 8 Select the TCP/UDP Port this affects from the drop down menu. Select 0 for all ports.
Click on the Routing button and the Routing Configuration screen appears. This option allows you to build a new routing table or change an existing routing table. Routes consist of the IP addresses of all machines you want to communicate with plus the netmask, gateway, and metric of those machines.
