• Interface: any
• Network: all-nets
5. Click OK
Caution
The above example is provided for informational purposes only. It is never
recommended to expose any management interface to any user on the Internet.
Logging out from the Web Interface
When you have finished working in the Web Interface, you should always logout to prevent other
users with access to your workstation to get unauthorized access to the system. Logout by clicking
on the Logout button at the right of the menu bar.
Tip
If there is a problem with the management interface when communicating alongside
VPN tunnels, check the main routing table and look for an all-nets route to the VPN
tunnel. If no specific route exists to the management interface then all management
traffic coming from NetDefendOS will automatically be routed to the VPN tunnel. If
this is the case then a route should be added by the administrator to route management
traffic destined for the management network to the correct interface.
2.1.4. The CLI
NetDefendOS provides a Command Line Interface (CLI) for administrators who prefer or require a
command line approach to administration, or who need more granular control of system
configuration. The CLI is available either locally through the serial console port (connection to this
is described below), or remotely via an Ethernet interface using the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol
from an SSH client.
The CLI provides a comprehensive set of commands that allow the display and modification of
configuration data as well as allowing runtime data to be displayed and allowing system
maintenance tasks to be performed.
This section only provides a summary for using the CLI. For a complete reference for all CLI
commands, see the separate D-Link CLI Reference Guide.
The most often used CLI commands are:
• add - Adds an object such as an IP address or a rule to a NetDefendOS configuration.
• set - Sets some property of an object to a value. For example, this might be used to set the source
interface on an IP rule.
• show - Displays the current categories or display the values of a particular object.
• delete - Deletes a specific object.
CLI Command Structure
CLI commands usually begin with the structure: <command> <object_type> <object_name>. For
example, to display an IP address object called my_address, the command would be:
