Using the Graphical User Interface (GUI) 3-13

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.

Note 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.

Note 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.

The summary page displays a selection table of existing items and information

about them (for example, existing PIM interfaces; see Figure 3-7 on page 3-14).

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 3-8 on page 3-14).

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 3-9 on page 3-15).

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.
