Setting Up the Required Management Services Without a Secure Connection

This section provides the procedures required to set up the required Management Services without SSL.

Note The Telnet server must be enabled before you can manage a router using certain CWI features. These features include

the Telnet application, setting character displays in the Rack View application, and viewing committed configuration

changes using the Configuration Change dialog box. See the Cisco IOS XR Getting Started Guide for information on

enabling the Telnet server.

Note If you are connecting through a firewall in your network, the ports listed in Table 1 must be open before setting up the

required Management Services. See your firewall documentation for information on opening the ports. See the

“Network Considerations” section on page 3 for information on firewalls in a network.

To start the required Management Services on the router, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Establish a Telnet/SSH session with the router.

Step 2 Enter configuration mode.

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# configure

Step 3 Enable the HTTP server on the router.

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# http server

Note If you are using either serial or terminal server connection modes, go to step6.

Step 4 Enable the Telnet server to log into the router using the IPv4 Telnet client.

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# telnet ipv4 server max-servers [ <1-200> | no-limit ]

Step 5 Enable the XML agent on the router.

For CORBA XML agent:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# xml agent corba

For TTY XML agent:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# xml agent tty

Step 6 Exit configuration mode.

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# commit

Setting Up the Required Management Services with a Secure Connection

This section provides the procedures required to set up the Management Services with SSL encryption. When setting up the

required Management Services and the CWI client with a secure connection, the certification authority (CA) and router

certificates must be set up before enabling the HTTP server and XML agent.

The following procedures are provided:

• Setting Up the Certificates, page 9

• Enabling the Secure HTTP Server and XML Agent, page 10
