OnBoard Services
OnBoard Services
A network service is available on the OnBoard if one of the two following
conditions are true:
• The security profile enables the service.
OR
• The administrator has enabled the service through the Web Manager, or
by using cycli or regular UNIX commands.
Administrators can turn services on and off by using the Web Manager Config
→ Services page or by using either the cycli utility or regular Linux
commands.
Note: In the Web Manager, the security profile screen and the services screen
detect when a service is enabled using either the Web Manager or cycli
utility. If the administrative user unchecks a service in the Config → Services
page, the custom security profile screen then shows the service as disabled,
and vice versa. Similarly, if a service is enabled using either the Web Manager
or the cycli utility, the cycli utility detects it. However, if the root user
turns services on and off on the command line using Linux start and stop
commands, the change in state for the service is not detected either by the
Web Manager or the cycli utility.
If any of the services listed in the following table are enabled, the
administrator must perform additional configuration in order for the services
to work. The following table lists the services and where to configure them
using the Web Manager.
