To access the WBM on a Detector module, you must first use the CLI to enable the WBM service on the Detector module and permit network access to the WBM service from the client IP address. Once this is complete, you can access the Detector module WBM through a network connection using the client Web browser.

The following sections are included in this chapter:

•Configuring Network Access to the WBM

•Launching the WBM

Configuring Network Access to the WBM

Use the Detector module CLI to enable the WBM service and permit network access to it. You must log on as a user with either administration or configuration user privilege level rights to make the necessary configuration changes. For detailed information on accessing and using the Detector module CLI, refer to the Cisco Traffic Anomaly Detector Module Configuration Guide.

To enable the Detector module WBM service:

---

Step 1 Log on to the Detector module CLI using a console or SSH connection.

Step 2 Change from global mode to configuration mode. Enter the following command:

admin@DETECTOR# configure

Step 3 Enable the WBM service. Enter the following command:

admin@DETECTOR-conf# service wbm

Step 4 Permit access to the Detector module from the client. Enter the following command:

(configure)# permit wbm ip-addr [ip-mask]

The ip-addr and ip-mask arguments define the client IP address.

For example:

admin@DETECTOR-conf# service wbm

admin@DETECTOR-conf# permit wbm 192.168.30.32

After you finish configuring network access to the WBM service on the Detector module, you may exit the CLI and launch the WBM using the client Web browser.

Launching the WBM

To launch the WBM from the client:

---

Step 1 Open the Web browser and enter the Detector module IP address using HTTPS (secure):

https://Detector module-ip-address/ 

The Detector module-ip-address argument is the management IP address of the Detector module.

The Detector module WBM login window appears.

Step 2 Enter your username and password and click OK. The WBM home page appears.

If you fail to connect to the Detector module, check the following troubleshooting tips:

•Verify that you have entered a valid user name and password.

•Verify that you have entered the correct Detector module management IP address and are using HTTPS.

•Check the network connections of the workstation and the Detector module.

•Ensure that you can connect to the Detector module using SSH. This will validate the network connection between your workstation and the Detector module.

•Use the CLI to verify that the WBM service is enabled on the Detector module and that access from the remote workstation IP address is permitted (see the "Configuring Network Access to the WBM" section).
