Basic Dial NMS Implementation Guide

Task 5Setting Up a Web Portal for the

Dial NMS

About a Web Portal

A web portal for the dial NMS is a combination of CGI scripts and HTML links used to support a dial
Internet access service.

As the number of devices and applications in a network increase, the operations support team may
become inundated with a myriad of management products. To support a dial service, a web portal
provides easy access to:

Product manuals, design guides, white papers, and troubleshooting guides.

Light-weight tools and scripts.

Network policies, procedures, and reports.

Periodic and just-in-time reporting.

The help desk can access operational information
(for example, current connected caller status).

The operations staff can report on current service levels.

Tips

For more information on building a management intranet, go to

Utilities Provided by the Web Portal for the Dial NMS

Utility

Function

Documentation Center

A web server used as an online-documentation hub to share
network operations information.

Device Linker

A web page used for bookmarking URLs for quick device telnet
and out of band (console) access.

See the “Building a Device Linker Web Page” section on page 83.
