Getting to know and understand these shortcuts can be very useful when navigating and editing within the CLI. Table 5-1 shows a list of these shortcuts and what function each of these provides.

Web-Based Management The VPN Router browser-based interface (BBI) is very useful, helpful, and easy-to-use. As the name implies, it is a browser-based interface, which requires a browser to connect to the interface and use it. The BBI contains a main menu, with each category breaking down into subcategories. Following are the categories that are available on the main menu screen: ■■ System ■■ Services ■■ Routing ■■ QoS ■■ Profiles ■■ Servers ■■ Admin ■■ Status ■■ Help Most administrators prefer using the BBI over the other management options because of its ease of use. If you are not sure of where the subcategory you need is, you can click quickly through the menu categories to find it. If all Management Options and Overview 197 08_781274 ch05.qxp 6/21/06 10:04 PM Page 197 else fails, the BBI contains a very thorough Help utility that explains what each subcategory does. To access the VPN Router through the BBI, the VPN Router must have an interface and management IP assigned to it. This can be set up through the ser- ial interface. Once configured, you only have to open your BBI and enter the management IP address in the URL field of the browser, as shown in Figure 5-1. If you are accessing a new switch for the first time, you will want to use either the Quick Start option or the Guided Config option, which helps with the configuration of the VPN Router. After you have completed the initial con- figuration of the VPN Router, most of the rest of the time you will be accessing the VPN Router to manage the router. The options you have now are to access it via the Manage Switch option or Manage from a Notebook option. NOTE If you have a slow remote connection, you can help speed up the process of accessing the BBI by selecting the Manage from a Notebook option, which is less graphics-heavy and loads quicker. Once you are successfully connected to the VPN Router, you will be prompted to enter the administrative user ID and password. If authenticated, then you will be granted access to the main interface screen. From this screen, you have four options from which to pick (see Figure 5-2). Each of these options includes a brief description on what that particular option is for. Fol- lowing are the options: ■■ Manage Switch: The main management GUI interface used for the day-to-day management of the VPN Router. ■■ Manage from a Notebook: Similar to the manage switch option, but less graphics-intensive. ■■ Quick Start: Used to quickly configure the VPN Router. ■■ Guided Config: Provides hints to assist in the configuration of the VPN Router. If you have successfully logged onto the GUI you will be directed to the main menu window. The main menu window consists of the menu options that are located on the left side of the window. The main screen section of the window is in the lighted shaded area. Buttons in the upper right enable you to log off and link to the Help screen. Figure 5-3 shows an example of the Manage Switch option main menu screen.

Follow- ing are the subcategories that are accessed through the Status category: ■■ Sessions ■■ Reports ■■ System ■■ Health Check ■■ Statistics ■■ Accounting ■■ Security LOG ■■ Configuration LOG ■■ System LOG ■■ Event LOG Help The Help menu within the BBI provides information that can assist adminis- trators in configuring and maintaining the VPN Router. This is a handy tool that describes everything pertaining to the VPN Router. A description of all Management Options and Overview 203 08_781274 ch05.qxp 6/21/06 10:04 PM Page 203 BBI categories is contained within the Help category. Following are the sub- categories that are accessed through the Help category: ■■ Help Contents ■■ Support ■■ About VPN Router Administrator To access and manage the Nortel VPN Router, an individual must be assigned administrator rights. There can be more than one administrator, as long as the user has been given the rights to administer the VPN Router. Administration rights can be assigned to an individual through the BBI by going to the following directory: PROFILES → USERS → EDIT. Various admin levels can be assigned to the users that have been given administrative rights. Figure 5-4 shows an example of setting the admin levels on the VPN Router. Following are the admin levels: ■■ None: This value will be assigned to most users. Users given this value for administrative rights do not have rights to manage the VPN Router, nor do they have rights to manage the users of the VPN Router. ■■ Manage: Users given this value for administrative rights have access to view and configure all functions within the VPN Router. This is the highest privilege level that can be assigned to an administrator. ■■ View: Users given this value for administrative rights have access to view all functions within the VPN Router, but do not have the authority to make any changes. Figure 5-4: Setting the administrative rights 204 Chapter 5 08_781274 ch05.qxp 6/21/06 10:04 PM Page 204 File Management You can access the system file directory to find out information on specific files and directories contained on the hard drives on your VPN Router. Through the BBI you can access this information by going to the following directory: ADMIN → FILE SYSTEM. The information contained on this page (see Figure 5-5) shows all drives that are associated with your VPN Router, as well as the files and directories that are stored on those drives. Accessing the file system through the BBI is an excellent way to maintain and manage your file system. It is an easy way to view the files on your drives and to delete any files that are no longer used or are not wanted. If you are experiencing file-retrieval problems, accessing the file system is an easy way for you to begin troubleshooting to see what may be wrong with the file system. You can obtain information such as filename, file size, and the last date modified. All of this information can be beneficial when working with the file system.
