Task 5—Setting Up a Web Portal for the Dial NMS

About a Web Portal

Building a Device Linker Web Page

A device linker web page:

•Simplifies access to the many device-management interfaces in the network.

•Provides links to the telnet, console, and HTTP ports of Cisco IOS devices.

				HTTP access to the CLI


				http://172.21.10.10

OOB console access telnet://172.21.10.1:2001

By using a Cisco terminal server for out-of-band console access, such as a Cisco 2511, the consoles are available at TCP port 20xx on a terminal server. The target line number replaces xx. For example to get to line 1, telnet to port 2001. The equivalent URL is telnet://172.21.101.250:2001

To build a device linker web page, follow these steps:

Step 1 Collect the IP addresses for the Cisco IOS devices.

Step 2 Collect the device console out-of-band (OOB) paths for the terminal server and the lines connected to Cisco IOS devices.

Step 3 Create a basic HTML table and enter the information for each device. The telnet and HTTP information is in bold in the following HTML code fragment. Step 4 shows what the table looks like in a web browser.
