Operation of the Network Processor may be fully monitored and
controlled from the NP HTTP/HTTPS Interface. By rolling the cursor
over the tabs located at the top of each page, the user can select
from the available nested hyperlinks (as shown to the right).
In order to make any Network Processor modifications permanent, all changes
made on any of the NP HTTP/HTTPS Interface pages must be saved before
rebooting the unit.
8.6.2
HTTP/HTTPS Interface Availability via Secure Management
Interfaces
Non-secure and secure network management operations are controlled by the Interface Security
Mode setting provided on the Admin | Security page (see Section 8.6.5.2.3 for more information).
Its use is dependent on the options installed in the base modem.
When the modem is equipped with the Network Processor (NP) Interface only, Management
Security is an optional feature.
8.6.2.1
Secure Management – NP Interface Only
When the optional NP Interface is installed in the modem without the optional TRANSEC Module
Interface, Management Security is optional and the following secure network management
operating alternatives apply:
When Management Security is disabled (i.e., Low Level Security is selected):
Non-secure serial-based network management is allowed for the Base Modem via Telnet, using the
J10 Remote EIA-232/485 Type 'DB-9F' serial port and the menu-driven Command Line Interface
(CLI).
Non-secure Ethernet-based network management is supported over the NP Interface using the
HTTP (non-secure) Web browser and SNMPv2.
When the modem is operating in Router Mode, a number of Base Modem M&C parameters are
available via the NP HTTP Interface. Similarly, a limited number of status-only NP parameters are
viewable over the Base Modem HTTP Interface.
When the modem is operating in BPM (Bridged Point-to-Multipoint) or Dynamic Point-to-Point
(DPP) Mode, NP Interface Ethernet ports P1 through P4 transparently bridge data traffic, and
network management is only possible using the Base Modem's J5 Ethernet port.
When Management Security is enabled (i.e., High Level Security is selected):
Secure network management is supported by the NP Interface, but not by the Base Modem. The
Base Modem's J5 Ethernet port (external Ethernet connectivity to the Base Modem) is disabled.
Secure Ethernet-based network management is supported over HTTPS via Secure Socket Layer
(SSL); Secure Shell (SSH) menu-driven Command Line Interface (CLI); and SNMPv3.
When the modem is operating in Router Mode, a number of Base Modem parameters are available
via the NP HTTPS Interface.
When the modem is operating in BPM or DPP Mode, NP Interface Ethernet ports P1 through P4
transparently bridge data traffic, and network management is only possible using the J5 Ethernet
port on the Base Modem.
