22 Basics of the Browser-Based Interface
216383-D October 2005
Basic operation
The Browser-Based Interface for the Nortel Switched Firewall provides a variety of levels of
control. TIP: To access the full functionality of the BBI, you must log in as administrator
(username admin).
The BBI allows you to administer the NSF in the following manner (see Table 1).
Up to ten simultaneous browser connections are allowed. When multiple CLI or BBI sessions
are open concurrently, only pending changes, made during your current session, are affected
by use of the global Diff, Revert, or Logout commands. However, when multiple CLI or BBI
administrators apply changes to the same set of parameters concurrently, the latest applied
changes take precedence. TIP: See Figure 75 on page 107, Administration/Monitor/GUI Lock
form. To prevent conflicts, any user logged in as administrator (username admin) can take
control of the GUI lock before changing or creating a configuration.
Pending change exceptions
After submission, most changes are considered pending and are not immediately put into effect
or permanently saved. However, changes to the date or time zone, and users and passwords
take effect as soon as the form is submitted. See Cluster/Time/Current Time form on page 40
and Administration/Users/General form on page 110.
Lost changes
Changes are lost if a new form is selected or the session is ended without submitting the
information to the pending configuration. Click Update or Submit on the form to submit
changes to the pending configuration.
