WebNS Device Management User Interface Overview

The WebNS Device Management user interface is an HTML-based Web application that you use to configure and manage a Cisco 11500 series content services switch (CSS). The WebNS Device Management user interface is part of the WebNS system software included with each CSS. The Device Management user interface allows you to configure and monitor a CSS. You can manage a single CSS or, using multiple browser windows, you can manage multiple CSSs.

You access the WebNS Device Management user interface from a Web browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer is recommended). The Web browser typically connects to the Device Management user interface through the CSS Ethernet Management port.

This chapter includes the following topics:

•Browser and Platform Support

•WebNS Device Management User Interface

•Supported Features in the Device Management User Interface

Browser and Platform Support

The WebNS Device Management user interface has the following requirements:

•Color Recommendations—The minimum display resolution required is SVGA (800x600 resolution). For best results, use XGA (1024x768 resolution).

•Browser Support—The WebNS Device Management user interface requires Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0 or later, or Netscape Navigator 4.08, Communicator 4.51 or 4.71.

Note If the entire navigation tree does not display in Netscape Navigator or Communicator, press Shift, then click Reload to refresh your browser. The navigation tree will not display if you are using Netscape Communicator version 4.72, 4.73 or 4.74.

WebNS Device Management User Interface

The Device Management user interface is divided into four areas or frames:

•Navigation Tree—The Navigation tree (located in the lower left frame of the browser window) lists Configuration, Monitor, and Summary options arranged by category. Many of these options are the same as those found in the Command Line Interface (CLI). Each icon in the Navigation Tree corresponds to a Configuration form, a Monitor form, or a Summary form. Click the form name in the Navigation tree to display the associated form in the Workspace frame.

•Workspace Frame—The Workspace is a large frame that displays the Configuration form, Monitor form, or Summary form corresponding to the navigation tree option that you select. A form may contain a single task or may involve a configuration form that includes multiple steps designed to simplify the process of setting up basic services on your CSS.

•Cisco Logo—Clicking the Cisco Systems logo in the upper left corner opens a secondary browser window that links to Cisco.com, the Cisco Systems corporate Web site.

•Banner—Clicking the Content Services Switch banner opens a secondary browser window linking to the Cisco.com Web site.

Figure 1-1 provides a typical example of a WebNS Device Management user interface form.

Supported Features in the Device Management User Interface

The Device Management user interface offers many of the same CSS capabilities that are available through the Command Line Interface (CLI). This section summarizes the supported CSS features, divided by:

•CSS Configuration Form Features

•CSS Monitor Form Features

•CSS Summary Form Features

•Port Mapping—Global port mapping, no-flow DNS port mapping.

•Redundancy—Box-to-box redundancy, VIP/interface redundancy, Adaptive Session Redundancy (ASR), Inter-Switch Communications (ISC).

•Proximity—APP, APP session, APP-UDP, Proximity Database (PDB), Proximity Domain Name Server (PDNS).

•Domain Name System—DNS server, DNS forwarder, DNS peer, domain acceleration, domain cache, DNS record, DNS Sticky, acceleration candidate, Content Routing Agent (CRA), CRA domain, CRA alias.

•SSL Accelerator—SSS proxy list, SSL proxy list cipher suite, SSL backend server proxy list, SSL backend server proxy list cipher suite, assign proxy list to service.

•Save Configuration—Copy running configuration to start configuration, copy running configuration to startup configuration and archive startup configuration.

CSS Monitor Form Features

There are a number of forms in the Device Management user interface that allow you to view statistical information about the CSS. All Monitor forms are available under the Monitor Navigation tree. Monitor forms include: Owner, Content Rule, Content Service, Proximity APP-UDP, Proximity RTT Probe, DNS Server, DNS Forwarder, DNS Proximity, DNS Content Routing Agent, Flow Statistics, and Denial of Service.

CSS Summary Form Features

There are a number of forms in the Device Management user interface that allow you to view configuration and summary statistical information about the CSS. All Summary forms are available under the Summary Navigation tree. Summary forms include: Boot Configuration, Interfaces, Trunked Interfaces, Logging Subsystems, Trap Hosts, RADIUS, Show Service, Show Owner, Show Content, Show Keepalive, Content Service Usage, Services, Content Services, Source Groups, Source Group Services, Owners, Content Rules (Summary, Main, Advanced Balance, and String), URQLs, URLs, EQLs, EQL Extensions, Named Keepalives, Service Keepalives, Box-to-Box Redundancy (Summary, Protocol, Circuits, Physical Links), Proximity APP Sessions, DNS Records, DNS Record Keepalives, DNS Domain Cache, DNS Acceleration Candidates, Content Routing Agent Domains, Denial of Service Attacks, Chassis, Session Processors, and System Resources.
