3HOME PAGE
The WebGUI Home page is the gateway to key operational information and various tools for
monitoring and managing the OCS.
Upon opening, the page provides a quick snapshot of system information including the switch’s
IP address, a list of Critical, Major and Minor alarms, and a scrolling banner at the bottom of the
page displaying current activity on the switch.
Access to detailed operational data and assorted administrative tools is provided via buttons in
the upper-right corner of the page and a navigation menu at the left of the page.
3.1 Home > Alarms/Events
A list of all current alarms is displayed in the bottom-left corner of the Home page. Clicking
any of the alarm categories shown opens the Active Alarm Summary window (Figure 1), which
provides a detailed summary of all the alarms belonging to the selected category. Similarly,
clicking the Alarms/Events button in the upper-right corner of the page (Figure 2) displays a
summary of all active alarms for the switch.

4NODE > SUMMARY
A summary of the Node Configuration for the switch can be accessed from the navigation menu
on the Home page. Clicking the Node option on the menu provides an overview of the OCS’s
provisioning, services and alarms, as well as software, network and manufacture information.
For the S320 OCS, the total number of free ports, before connections are made, is
324 (320 + 4 spare ports). For the S160 OCS, the total number of free ports, before
connections are made, is 162 (160 + 2 spare ports).
4.1 Node > Summary > Node Config
The OCS can also be configured using the WebGUI. The following sections describe the various
steps required to do this.
4.1.1 Node Configuration Sections
To access the Node Configuration screen, click the Node Config tab at the top of the Node
Summary window. The Node Configuration screen will appear. It consists of multiple sections,
each of which displays various parameters that can be configured by an authorized user.

4.1.1.1 General and Service Configuration
This section of the Node Configuration screen lets the user configure the name of the node and
the services available on it.

The following procedure describes how to configure the General Configuration settings for the
switch:
1. Type the appropriate information in the Node Name, System Contact and System
Location fields.
2. Click the Save button at the bottom of the screen.
The new name specified by a user will not take effect until it has been saved and the
user has logged out and back into the WebGUI. Once this has been done, the new
name will appear in the upper-left corner, beneath the CALIENT logo, on every page
of the WebGUI.
DB Status is a non-configurable, descriptive field that will display either of two designations:
User-DB (user database) OR
Default DB (factory-default database that ships with the switch)
Of the Service Configuration settings, Web and TL1 are enabled by default, and cannot be
disabled. The remaining services—REST, SNMP, Open Flow and RPC—are set by clicking the
appropriate radio button (Enabled or Disabled) located at the right of each service.
4.1.1.2 Network, SCP Server and Cross Connects Configuration

The Network Configuration settings can be set by typing the appropriate information in the
IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway fields for ethA and/or ethB. The MAC, Link Status and
Interface Status fields are informational only and are not configurable.
The SCP Server Configuration settings are used for configuration backup and restore. These
settings can be modified by typing the appropriate information in the IP Address, SCP Dir,
User Name and Password fields.
The Cross Connects Configuration settings are informational only and are not configurable.
4.1.1.3 Time, Security and Dynamic Update Configuration
Of the Time Configuration settings, the Current Date/Time can be set by clicking the calendar
icon at the right of the field and specifying the following items:
Month –from the dropdown menu, click one of the 12 months to select it.
Year –from the dropdown menu, click one of the listed years (up to 2020) to select it.
Date –click a date on the calendar for the specified month to select it; the selection will
be highlighted.
Time –click in the field for each value (Hour: Minutes: Seconds) you want to configure
and type in a new value.
Once the new date and time settings are complete, click the OK button at the bottom of the
calendar to save the changes, or click the Cancel button to disregard them. The calendar will
close after clicking OK or Cancel.

The NTP Service and NTP Server settings cannot be set from the Node Configuration screen;
however, they can be modified from the shell using the gxc-config-network utility.
Of the Security Configuration settings, the Security Notice can be modified by clicking either
the Enabled or Disabled radio button located at the right of the setting. If Enabled is specified,
a custom message will appear in the Security Notice field when a user logs into the system
from the TL1 shell.
The Password Aging field specifies the number of days a password will remain valid. Acceptable
values for the setting are:
0 (zero) –the password never expires.
20 to 90 –the password will expire after the specified number of days.
Similarly, the Usage Inactivity field specifies whether or not to disable a user, based on the
individual’s site usage. Values for the setting include:
0 (zero) –the user is never disabled.
45 to 90 –the user will be disabled after being inactive for the specified number of days.
The Dynamic Update Configuration setting specifies how frequently the scrolling Events banner
at the bottom of the screen is refreshed. Although a planned future enhancement, this setting is
currently inactive on the system.
4.1.2 Node > Summary > Node Config > Backup/Restore
Backing up and restoring system information is another operation that can be configured via
the WebGUI. The following procedure describes how to do this:
1. Log into the WebGUI and navigate the following path: Node > Summary > Node Config.
The Node Configuration screen will open.
2. Click the Backup/Restore tab in the Node Configuration screen. The Backup/Restore
screen will display.

3. To back up the system, do the following:
a. Under Backup Location, click the Local File System radio button or the Remote File
System radio button to select it as the location for the backup.
If the Remote option is selected, the SCP Server Configuration settings mentioned
in section 4.1.1.2 will need to be configured.
b. Click the Backup Configuration button at the bottom of the screen to perform a
complete backup of the database, including port thresholds /ALIAS/PORTGROUPS
and Connection Information.
4. To restore the system, do the following:
a. Under Restore Location, click the Local File System radio button or the Remote File
System radio button to specify which will be used for the restore.
If the Remote option is selected, the SCP Server Configuration settings mentioned
in section 4.1.1.2 will need to be configured.
b. Click the Restore Configuration button at the bottom of the screen to restore the
system database.
Restoring the configuration will purge the existing database by overwriting it with the
backup copy. CALIENT recommends maintaining a copy of backups and performing a
backup of current data prior to restoring the system.

4.1.3 Node > Summary > Node Config > SNMP Configuration
If SNMP Service has been enabled for the system (see section 4.1.1.1), it can also be configured
using the WebGUI. The following sections describe how to do this:
4.1.3.1 SNMP v1/v2c Get/Set Parameters
To access the SNMP v1/v2c agent, the SNMP Community and Type need to be configured. The
Type can be configured as RO (Read Only) or RW (Read-Write). The Manager IP Address is an
optional parameter that, if configured, restricts usage of the community name to the specified
IP Address only. By default, one public read-only community and one private read-write
community are created and added to the configuration. Authorized users can add, delete, and
modify the parameters listed in Table 1 and shown in Figure 3.

agent to send SNMP v1 Trap, v2c Trap or v2c Inform. Authorized users can add, delete or
modify these parameters using the WebGUI.
