System management
This section introduces the 450 Platform Family management system, including the web interface,
installation, configuration, alerts and upgrades.
Management agent
The 450 Platform Family radios are managed through an embedded management agent.
Management workstations, network management systems or PCs can be connected to this agent using
the module’s Ethernet port or over-the air (SM/BHS)
The management agent supports the following interfaces:
•
Hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP)
•
Hypertext transfer protocol secure (HTTPS)
•
RADIUS authentication
•
Simple network management protocol (SNMP) – v2c and v3
•
Network time protocol (NTP)
•
System logging (Syslog)
•
Wireless Manager (WM) software
•
Canopy Network Updater Tool (CNUT) software
•
cnMaestro™
Web server
The 450 Platform Family management agent contains a web server. The web server supports access via
the HTTP/HTTPS interface.
Web-based management offers a convenient way to manage the 450 Platform Family radios from a
locally connected computer or from a network management workstation connected through a
management network, without requiring any special management software. The web and SNMP are the
interfaces supported for installation of 450 Platform Family radios and for the majority of configuration
management tasks.
