Preface
The Cisco Traffic Anomaly Detector Web-Based Management (WBM) User Guide describes the web-based Management, a graphical user interface (GUI) for remotely operating the Traffic Anomaly Detector and monitoring the Detector's activity, condition and statistics. The WBM communicates with the Detector by translating its HTML pages into Detector commands. These are the same commands that you can enter with the command-line interface (CLI). This guide describes the Cisco Traffic Anomaly Detector Web-Based Management (WBM) workflow, installation, and operation.
This guide provides the general WBM operations needed for the Detector operation and explains how to use the WBM. It contains background information and instructions for using the WBM and the Detector.
Some of the Detector's configuration, relating to the Detector as a whole, can only be configured using the CLI and cannot be performed using the WBM. Refer to the Cisco Traffic Anomaly Detector User Guide for further details.
This preface describes the audience, organization, and conventions of this publication, and provides information on how to obtain related documentation.
Audience
The Cisco Traffic Anomaly Detector Web-Based Management (WBM) User Guide is intended primarily for network operators who will be operating the Cisco Traffic Anomaly Detector but who are not necessarily familiar with the tasks involved and the relationship between them, or the operations necessary to perform particular tasks.
