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

The following sections are included in this chapter:

Configuring Network Access to the WBM

Use the Guard 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 Guard CLI, refer to the Cisco Guard Configuration Guide.

To enable the Guard WBM service:

---

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

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

admin@GUARD# configure

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

admin@GUARD-conf# service wbm

Step 4 Permit access to the Guard from the remote client. Enter the following command:

admin@GUARD-conf# permit wbm ip-addr [ip-mask]

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

For example:

admin@GUARD-conf# service wbm

admin@GUARD-conf# permit wbm 192.168.30.32

After you finish configuring network access to the WBM service on the Guard, 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 Guard IP address using HTTPS (secure):

https://Guard-ip-address/ 

The Guard-ip-address argument is the management IP address of the Guard.

The Guard 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 Guard, check the following troubleshooting tips:

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

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

•Check the network connections of the client and the Guard.

•Ensure that you can connect to the Guard using SSH. This will validate the network connection between the client and the Guard.

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