Using the cycli Utility : Summary of How to Configure the Top Level Parameters

Summary of How to Configure the Top Level Parameters
This section provides a brief overview of how to configure the top level parameters.
Typing any of the commands such as add or set then pressing Tab Tab displays all the top level parameters, as shown in the following screen example.
Table 7.3 shows which of the top-level parameters that you can set without using the add command first, and the parameters that need to be added using the add command first before using the set command to set additional parameters and values.
Use the set command to set an authentication type for logins to the OnBoard appliance (set auth type authtype).
Use the set command to configure authentication server parameters (set auth authtype type Tab Tab shows you what you need to set for the server’s specified authtype).
Use the set command to configure the AUX port for a connected modem or ipdu (set auxport profile modem | ipdu). If the modem profile is set, use the set command to configure the modem (set auxport modem Tab Tab shows the modem configuration parameters to set).
Use the set command to configure boot configuration (set bootcon Tab Tab shows the boot configuration parameters to set).
Use the set command to configure PCMCIA cards (set cards Tab Tab shows the cardtypes (set cards cardtype Tab Tab shows the configuration parameters to set).
Use the add command to add a group (add group groupname). A GID is automatically set.
Use the set command to configure the group members (set group groupname users. username[,username2,...,usernameN).
Use the set command to configure HTTP/HTTPS services (set httpd http Tab Tab shows the configuration parameters to set).
Use the set command to configure an IPDU (set ipdu s1 Tab Tab shows the configuration parameters to set).
Use the set command to configure the outlets (set ipdu s1 Tab Tab shows the configuration parameters to set).
Use the add command to add users who can configure outlets (add ipdu s1 users username).
Use the set command to configure which outlets each user can manage (set ipdu s1 users username Tab Tab shows the configuration parameters to set).
Use the add command to add a VPN IPSec connection name (add ipsec conn connectionname).
Use the set command to configure the connection parameters (set ipsec conn connection_name Tab Tab shows the configuration parameters to set).
By default, a set of chains is defined but no rules are configured: For NAT, the predefined chains are: PREROUTING, POSTROUTING, OUTPUT. For filter, the predefined chains are: INPUT, OUTPUT, FORWARD.
Use the add command to add a chain of type filter or nat (add iptables [filter | nat] connectionname).
Use the set command to configure the parameters (set iptables [filter | nat] Tab Tab shows the configuration parameters to set).
Use the set command to configure the OnBoard appliance hostname (set network hostname OnBoard_hostname).
Use the set command to configure the host (set network hosts IP_address Tab Tab shows the parameters to set).
Use the set command to configure one of the network interfaces (set network interface Tab Tab lists the interfaces to configure; set network interface interface_name Tab Tab lists the parameters to configure).
Use the set command to configure ipv4 (set network ipv4 Tab Tab lists the parameters to configure).
Use the set command to configure DNS (set network resolv Tab Tab lists the parameters to configure).
Use the set command to configure email notifications to be sent to root (set network smtp Tab Tab lists the parameters to configure).
Use the add command to add a static route to the routing table (add network st_routes IP_address).
Use the set command to configure the static route (set network st_routes IP_address Tab Tab shows the parameters to set).
Use the set command to configure the parameters (set notifications name Tab Tab shows the parameters to set).
Use the set command to configure the authentication method for OnBoard logins (set onboard global default authtype authentication_method).
Use the set command to configure the default for data buffering (set onboard global default databuf [yes | no]).
Use the set command to configure whether passwords are encrypted; the default is no (set onboard global security encrypt_passwords [yes | no]).
Use the set command to configure whether authorizations are ignored when users attempt to access devices; the default is no (set onboard global security override_authorizations [yes | no]).
Use the set command to configure the sort method for the names of devices, either alphabetical or no sorting. By default, device names appear in the order they were configured (set onboard global sort server [alpha | none]).
Use the set command to configure whether or not sanity checks are made for the subnet IP and netmasks. If set to no, overlapping subnets are allowed. (set onboard global strict subnet [yes | no]).
Use the set command to configure whether or not sanity checks are made to ensure that the real IP assigned to a device is unique. (set onboard global strict uniqip [yes | no]).
Use the add com.mand to configure an onboard group (add onboard group groupname).
Use the set command to configure the parameters (set onboard group servername Tab Tab shows the parameters to set).
Use the set command to configure the parameters (set onboard server servername Tab Tab shows the parameters to set). For example, set onboard server servername databuf [yes|no|default] configures whether data buffering is done according to the global setting or not.
Use the add onboard user command to configure a user (add onboard user username).
Use the set user command to configure the normal Linux user’s parameters such as passwd (set user username Tab Tab shows the parameters to set).
Use the add onboard user command to authorize a user to use a device that has been previously configured-possibly with set onboard server devicename (add onboard user username devicename).
Use the set onboard user username devicename command to specify which device management actions the user can perform on the device (set onboard user username devicename Tab Tab shows the device management actions to set by specifying yes or no for each).
Use the set pptpd command to configure PPTP (set pptpd Tab Tab shows the parameters to set).
Use the set profile command to select the security profile (set profile Tab Tab shows the parameters to set).
Use the add sensoralarm command to configure a sensor alarm (add sensoralarm alarm_ID).
Use the set sensoralarm command to configure the parameters (set sensoralarm alarm_ID Tab Tab shows the parameters to set). Use the name of a sensor on the device in quotes (such as Sys Fan 1) and an appropriate range if you specify inside or outside.
Use the set service command to enable or disable any service (set service Tab Tab shows the services to enable or disable by specifying enable yes or enable no for each).
Use the add snmpd command to add access, com2sec, group, user and view (add snmpd [access | com2sec | group | user | view].
Use the set snmpd command to configure the parameters (set snmpd parameter Tab Tab shows the parameters to set).
Use the set sshd command to enable or disable SSHD (set sshd Tab Tab shows the parameters to set).
Use the set syslog command to specify a syslog server (set syslog Tab Tab shows the parameters to set).
Use the set timezone command to specify the timezone (set timezone Tab Tab shows the parameters to set).
Do not use this command to add a user. Use add onboard user username first.
Use the set user command to configure the normal Linux user’s parameters such as the passwd (set user username Tab Tab shows the parameters to set).
Use the set web command to specify a user-accessible server where the help files have been downloaded (set web Tab Tab shows the parameter to set). The default is http://www.cyclades.com/online-help/onb/v_1.0.0/.
