Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Westermo and its WeOS products Westermo provides an extensive set of network products for robust industrial data communications, managed as well as unmanaged products. Westermo’s products are found in diverse set of harsh environment applications, and where robustness and reliability are vital properties.
Westermo OS Management Guide Version 4.24.1-0 1.3 Introduction to WeOS Westermo OS (WeOS) is a network operating system delivering an extensive set of functionality including layer-2 (basic switching, VLAN, IGMP snooping, etc.), layer-3 (routing, firewall, NAT, etc.), and higher-level services (DHCP, DNS, etc.).
Protocol (TTDP)[14]. TTDP support is limited to RFR-212-FB products[57] (Corazon platform). 1.5 Westermo products running WeOS Below you find the list of Westermo products running WeOS, as well as references to their respective User Guide: Falcon: User Guide [48] (FDV-206-1D1S). (”Basis” platform) ...

1.5.1 Product hardware details affecting WeOS functionality The WeOS functionality described in the Management Guide generally applies to all Westermo products running WeOS of the appropriate software level (Standard or Extended). However, where functionality assumes the presence of certain hardware (such as a USB port), those functions are limited to products including that hardware.

WeConfig: is Westermo’s Network configuration management tool (NCM) made for commissioning and maintenance of components in a network. It replaces the former Westermo tool known as IPConfig. For further informa- tion on WeConfig’s features and how to use the tool, see the WeConfig User Guide[65].

3.1 When to use the WeConfig tool The Westermo configuration management tool, WeConfig, is used for basic con- figuration and maintenance of WeOS products. It is an ideal tool to upgrade firmware and manage configuration files (backup and restore) of a large set of WeOS devices.
Westermo OS Management Guide Version 4.24.1-0 Discover other Westermo Switches: The Web contains a discovery service (IPconfig) similar to what WeConfig provides. (Note, you must still be able to login to one switch in order to make use of this service.) To use the Web interface, you must know the IP address of your switch.

files. 7.1.1.1 Upgrading firmware and bootloader WeOS firmware and bootloader can be downloaded from www.westermo.com. The method to upgrade firmware and bootloader differs somewhat if the unit to upgrade is running WeOS 4.13.1 (or later), as compared to units running releases before 4.13.1.

– Factory Reset: By resetting to factory defaults, the switch configura- tion (including the ”admin” password) will be reset . I.e., the ”admin” password is restored to ”westermo”, enabling you to login again. The way to accomplish a factory reset may differ if the switch has a con- sole port (section 7.1.3.2) or if it lacks a console port...

Table 7.4: Factory Default IP settings. There are several ways to discover the IP address of a product: 1. WeConfig (from PC): The WeConfig tool is designed to scan for (Westermo) switches on the local network. See the WeConfig User Guide[65] for de- tails on how to use the WeConfig tool.

Admin password reset: It is possible to recover from a lost admin password by using the following login and password from the console port. The admin password will be reset to its default value (westermo), and thereby enable you to login to the switch again.

Performing initial backup... Backup done. example/#> The configuration files (including certificates and private keys) are now backed up to sub-directories under ”/usb/westermo/backup/” (see section 7.1.6.3). Keep USB inserted: The USB memory stick should stay attached to the WeOS unit. Any changes to the configuration files on unit flash will be continuously backed-up to USB.

<-- Configuration files +-- crt/ <-- Certificates and keys Additional details: The ”/usb/westermo/backup/cfg/” directory will contain some additional files: ”startup-config.lnk” specifies which config file is used as ”startup-configuration”, and ”gen.id” contains a counter. The correspond- ing ”gen.id” file on unit flash is incremented every time a change on unit flash is detected.

USB during boot-up. USB con- figuration deployment has precedence over USB auto-backup and restore. That is, if the USB memory stick contains both a ”westermo/deploy/” and a ”westermo/backup/” directory, the configuration deployment function will be activated.

PC tool for discovery and rudimentary management of Westermo switches. The CLI and the Web provides a similar mechanism (IPConfig client), i.e., once logged into the switch, it is possible to scan for other Westermo units on the same LAN.
Updating the flash partition table will corrupt your system! Configura- tion files, certificates and backup image will be destroyed. Although this update facility has been tested extensively by Westermo there are no guarantees it will work flawlessly for all use cases.

Usage The command has two purposes: Scan the network for IPConfig neighbours on the given interface, i.e., scan for other Westermo devices with the IPConfig service enabled (see section 8.3.31). Show status of the IPConfig process on the own device, if enabled.
Page 198
Use ”show ipconfig” to list whether IPConfig is enabled or disabled. Note: There is another ”show ipconfig” command available in the Admin Exec context, which is used (1) to scan for neighbour Westermo units, and (2) to list status information on the IPConfig server running on this device, see section 7.3.37.

IEEE back-offs and timeouts in place to protect against glitches and temporary link loss that otherwise prevent the port from going UP or DOWN. Westermo has put a great deal of effort into making sure that, when enabling Fastlink, glitches and link loss still do not occur.

DDM/DOM information will only be listed for enabled ports. Note DDM support in WeOS is limited to Westermo DDM SFPs, see the SFP Trans- ceiver Datasheet of your WeOS product (www.westermo.com).

Falcon to your ISP. Notes on a few more settings are given below: – RSTP: Westermo switches running WeOS typically have RSTP enabled on all Ethernet and DSL ports. However, the xDSL port on Falcon have RSTP disabled by default.
This chapter describes the WeOS support for the Westermo WeConnect service. Westermo WeConnect is a centralised on-line connectivity service offered by Westermo as a separate product (not normally included in the purchase of a WeOS product). The idea of the service is to connect equipment and networks through the Inter- net in an easy way, but at the same time safe and encrypted using standard VPN features.
With WeConnect users can easily and securely connect to any IP-device on the network using their normal PC, smartphone or tablet. If you do not yet have an account, contact your local Westermo reseller or visit http://www.westermo.com/ for further information.

The traffic sent from one node is put into a VPN tunnel that is terminating at Westermo’s WeConnect servers on the Internet. It is then re-routed to the target node via the target node’s VPN tunnel. This causes a high latency for the traf- fic going back and forth via this service.
