Using Configuration Pages
Most protocols are configured by creating or adding an entry - an IP route, a
PIM interface, and so on. For such protocols, configuration with the GUI is
based on sets of three pages: first you see a “summary” page, and from that
you access an “add” page and a “modify” page. Complex protocols are sub-
divided into different tabs, each with their own summary, add and modify
pages.
The summary page displays a selection table of existing items and information
about them (for example, existing PIM interfaces; see Figure 8 on page 37).
Below the selection table is a row of buttons, labelled Add, Modify and
Remove.
To add a new item, click the Add button. This opens the popup “add” page,
which lets you create a new item (for example, configure a new PIM interface;
see Figure 9 on page 37).
To modify an existing item, select it by clicking on the option button at the
beginning of its entry in the selection table. Then click the Modify button. This
opens the popup “modify” page, which lets you expand or change the
configuration (for example, change the Hello interval for a PIM interface; see
Figure 10 on page 38).
To delete or destroy an item, select it by clicking on the option button at the
beginning of its entry in the selection table. Then click the Remove button.
Only one person can configure a particular router with the GUI at a time, to avoid
clashes between configurations. Monitoring and diagnostics pages can be viewed by
more than one user at a time.
Use the menus and buttons on the GUI pages to navigate, not your browser’s buttons,
to ensure that the configuration settings are saved correctly.
