Preface Welcome to Using Web-based Management for the Business Policy Switch 2000 Software Version 1.2. This document provides instructions on configuring and managing the Business Policy Switch 2000* through the World Wide Web. The Web-based management interface is one of many tools specifically designed to assist the network manager in creating complex standalone or network configurations.
Text conventions This guide uses the following text conventions: italic text Indicates new terms and book titles. separator ( > ) Shows menu paths. Example: Configuration > Port Management identifies the Port Management option on the Configuration menu. Related publications For more information about using the Web-based management user interface and the BPS 2000, refer to the following publications: • Release Notes for the Business Policy Switch 2000 Software Version 1.
Describes how to use the Java Device Manager to configure and manage the BPS 2000. You can print selected technical manuals and release notes free, directly from the Internet. Go to the www.nortelnetworks.com/documentation URL. (The product family for the BPS 2000 is Data and Internet.) Find the product for which you need documentation. Then locate the specific category and model or version for your hardware or software product.

Chapter 1 Using the Web-based management interface This chapter describes the requirements for using the Web-based management interface and how to use it as a tool to configure your BPS 2000. This chapter covers: • • • • • • • “New features,” next “Stacking compatibility” on page 26 “Software version 1.
Using the Web-based management interface — Table of port statistics (refer to Chapter 6) Note: To access the software version 1.2 features in a mixed stack, you must access a BPS 2000 unit. Additionally: - only 64 VLANS are available in a mixed stack - multiple STG support is not available in a mixed stack Stacking compatibility You can stack the BPS 2000 up to 8 units high. There are two types of stacks: • • Pure BPS 2000—This stack has only BPS 2000 switches.
Using the Web-based management interface • • 27 Pure BayStack 450 stack—All units must be running the same software version. Hybrid stack: — All BPS 2000 units must be running the same software version. — All BayStack 410 units must be running the same software version. — All BayStack 450 units must be running the same software version. — All software versions must have the identical ISVN. Refer to Appendix B of Using the Business Policy Switch 2000 Software Version 1.
Using the Web-based management interface You can use 256 port-, protocol-, and MAC SA-based VLANs for the stack with a Pure BPS 2000 stack running software version 1.2. (The maximum number of MAC SA-based VLANs available is 48). If you are working with a mixed, or Hybrid, stack, you can use 64 VLANs for the entire stack.
Using the Web-based management interface 29 Port numbering syntax When you enter a port number in a stack configuration, you must specify a unit/port number. A unit/port number consists of the unit number, a slash (/), and the port number. For example, 1/1 is the unit number 1 and port number 1, and 3/11 is unit number 3 and port number 11. In some cases, you can use a list of ports, or a port list. In this case, the same unit/ port number notation applies.
Using the Web-based management interface Figure 1 Web-based management interface home page Network security does not yet exist the first time you access the Web-based management user interface. As the system administrator, you must create access parameters and passwords to protect the integrity of your network configuration(s). For more information on setting access parameters and system passwords, refer to Chapter 4.

Using the Web-based management interface Table 1 lists the main headings in the Web-based management user interface and their associated options.
Using the Web-based management interface 33 Tools are provided in the menu to assist you in navigating the Web-based management interface. Caution: Web browser capabilities such as page bookmarking, refresh, and page forward and page back, function as they would in any other Web site. However, these capabilities do not enhance the functionality of the Web-based management interface. Nortel Networks recommends that you use only the navigation tools provided in the management interface.
Using the Web-based management interface Management page When you click a menu option, the corresponding management page opens. Figure 3 shows the page displayed for the Administration > Security > Console option. Figure 3 Console page A page is composed of one or more of the following elements: • Tables and input forms The gray cells in a page are display only, and white cells are input fields. • Check boxes You enable or disable a selection by clicking a check box.
Using the Web-based management interface 35 Table 3 describes the icons that may appear on a pages to assist you in navigation. Table 3 Page buttons and icons Icon Name Description Modify Accesses a modification page for the selected row. View Accesses a view only statistics page for the selected row. Delete Deletes a row. Pie Chart Displays statistics information in a pie chart format. Bar Graph Displays statistics information in a bar graph format.

Configuring application settings 155 Creating and managing virtual LANs (VLANs) A VLAN is a collection of switch ports that make up a single broadcast domain. You can configure a VLAN for a single switch, or for multiple switches. When you create a VLAN, you can control traffic flow and ease the administration of moves, adds, and changes on the network, by eliminating the need to change physical cabling.
Configuring application settings Port-based VLANs A port-based VLAN is a VLAN in which the ports are explicitly configured to be in the VLAN. When you create a port-based VLAN on a switch, you assign a VLAN identification number (VLAN ID) and specify which ports belong to the VLAN. The VLAN ID is used to coordinate VLANs across multiple switches. With software version 1.1 and higher, the automatic PVID feature automatically sets the PVID when you configure a port-based VLAN.
Configuring application settings 157 Configuring VLANs You can create VLANs by assigning switch ports, MAC SA, and protocols as VLAN members and you can designate an existing VLAN to act as the management VLAN. Note: To access the software version 1.2 features in a mixed stack, you must access a BPS 2000 unit.

Chapter 9 Implementing Common Open Policy Services (COPS) Enabling COPS in your networks allows the policy server to: • • • Gather all relevant information. Make a decision based on your (as network administrator) set policies and network resources, Communicate that decision in the form of proper service to the appropriate group or client (bandwidth, ACLs, QoS). A solid COPS strategy is closely tied to Internet Protocol (IP) address management and network management.
Implementing Common Open Policy Services (COPS) Viewing COPS statistics and capabilities You can view a list of the capabilities of the COPS client to connect to a COPS server and view a table displaying the current status of all COPS server connections. To view COPS capabilities and statistics: 1 From the main menu, choose Application > COPS > Status. The Status page opens (Figure 128). Figure 128 Status page Table 101 describes the items on the Status page.
