TEC Workbook - IBM

There are several areas in the WebGUI worth noting:
● The top banner section contains some basic status information, such as the current user
and domain.

� The Save Config link is used to save all of your changes into the device’s flash
memory. When you make changes to a configuration, the changes are immediately
active, but they are not saved to the flash memory until you click this link.
� The Logout link will end the current session. Any changes you made will remain
active.
● The left side of the browser window is occupied by the navigation tree. At the top is a link
(labeled “Control Panel”) for quick access to the control panel. The navigation tree is
divided into several sections. Clicking on the section name will expose additional actions
within that section.
� Status: provides menu options to view the overall status of the device, network
connections, configurations, and many other objects within the system.
� Services: provides options for configuring and managing all of the services
available on the appliance.
� Network: provides menu options that help you work with network configuration and
settings.
� Administration: provides options that help you administer the device, such as
creating domains, users, exporting and importing configurations, etc.
� Objects: contains menu options to create and manage every type of object
supported by WebSphere DataPower.
The navigation tree also includes a search box that helps you quickly navigate to a
specific function or object.
● The body of the page shows the Control Panel. It’s divided into three sections, each
containing icons for performing frequently used tasks.
� Services - provides access to wizards that step you through the creation of a variety
of service objects such as a Web Service Proxy or a Multi-protocol Gateway.
� Monitoring and Troubleshooting - provides easy access to system logs,
troubleshooting tools, Web service monitors and device status pages.
� File and Administration - provides easy access to the onboard flash-based file
system, a system control panel, import and export tools, and a key and certificates
management tool.
