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