Using The Web Management Interface (Wmi); Using An Snmp Manager - Nomadix Universal subscriber gateway User Manual

Using the Web Management Interface (WMI)

The Web Management Interface (WMI) is a "graphical" version of the Command
Line Interface, comprised of HTML files. The HTML files are embedded in the USG
and are dynamically linked to the system's functional command sets. You can access
the WMI from any Web browser.
To connect to the Web Management Interface, do the following:
Establish a connection to the Internet.
1.
Open your Web browser.
2.
Enter the network interface IP address of the USG (set up during the installation
3.
process).
Log in as usual (supplying your user name and password).
4.
To access any menu item from the WMI, simply click on the item you want. The
corresponding work screen then appears in the right side frame. From here you can
control the features and settings related to your selection. Although the appearance is
very different from the Command Line Interface, the information displayed to you is
basically the same. The only difference between the two interfaces is in the method
used for making selections and applying your changes (selections are checkable
boxes, and applying your changes is achieved by pressing the
Pressing the
Reset
changes without applying them).

Using an SNMP Manager

Once the SNMP communities are established, you can connect to the USG via the
Internet using an SNMP client manager (for example, HP OpenView). SNMP is the
standard protocol used in the Network Management (NM) system. This system
contains two primary elements:
Manager – The console (client) through which system administrators
! ! ! !
perform network management functions.
– An SNMP-compliant device which stores data about itself in a
Agent
! ! ! !
Management Information Base (MIB). The USG is an example of such a
device.
The USG contains managed objects that directly relate to its current operational state.
These objects include hardware configuration parameters and performance statistics.
Managed objects are arranged into a virtual information database, called a
Management Information Base (MIB). SNMP enables managers and agents to
communicate with each other for the purpose of accessing these MIBs and retrieving
data. See also, "Installing the Nomadix Enterprise MIB" on page
