Default Password Warning

When logging into the DOMOS6 WebUI, you will be informed when default passwords are in enforced. We highly recommend you to change your passwords to more secure passphrases, as default passwords can impend a severe security risk to your system and network.

General Information

In the upper right corner you are able to see who is currently logged in via WebUI. To log out hit Logout.

After changing any configuration, click the Save button which is displayed everywhere you are allowed to make changes. To apply your changes hit Activate Settings. This may take a while. Restarting services return success or failure messages. If you have changed the IP of the appliance you will not receive any response, because your browser will wait for the WebUI to return from the old IP. You will have to log in again on the appliance by directing your browser to the new IP.

Overview

After logging in using the WebUI you will see the overview screen. This screen provides information about hostname, uptime, average CPU load, system time, DOMOS6 version and software as you can see in the following figure.

DOMOS6 Overview

Network

By clicking on ”Network” in the menu on the left side an overview of the network configuration appears. This overview shows a basic summary of the network settings of your appliance, namely the network ports with their configuration such as IP and netmask, DHCP and an indicator if the interface is up or down.

DOMOS6 Network Overview

Interfaces

This screen shows nearly the same information as the network overview, but here you are able to edit your configuration by selecting Edit of the interface.

DOMOS6 Network Interfaces

Modifying Network Configuration

By selecting Edit in the interfaces overview you are lead to the configuration menu of a specific interface. At first basic information about the interface is given: The name. By activating DHCP the interface obtains its IP from a DHCP-Server. Otherwise configure the IP and the netmask manually. If you want to set the Maximum Transfer Unit (MTU) just edit the field beside MTU. The default setting is 1500. You can add multiple IPv4 addresses to an interface by clicking on the Add new IPv4 address button.

note

If you have restored an old DOMOS configuration file (DOMOS5 and older) the Virtual Interface configuration will be converted automatically to additional IPv4 address configuration.

DOMOS6 Edit Network Interfaces

VLAN (IEEE 802.1Q)

DOMOS6 provides the option to add VLAN interfaces to your network. To add a new VLAN interface, click Add new VLAN. You will be presented with a dialogue in which you will be requested to specify which device the VLAN is to be attached to, what VLAN ID the interface is to be configured to, the IP Address, Netmask and MTU. To have the VLAN device brought up at boot, please check the Activate on boot checkbox. Once completed, click save to complete the configuration of the VLAN. Should you like to edit the configuration of an existing VLAN interface, click the Edit button in the “Interfaces” overview. To delete a VLAN interface, click the Del button. Once you have made changes to the interfaces, please click Activate Settings to apply the changes.

note

Your network may need configuration to incorporate VLAN traffic.

DOMOS6 VLAN Network Interfaces

Bonding

DOMOS6 allows you to bond interfaces using the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). This means that you can bind two interfaces together to operate as one. To add a new bond click on Add new bonding interface. You will be prompted to enter a Name - which will later be used to refer to this interface. The Bonding Mode defines the strategy used to run the bond.

Here you can choose between one of the following:

balance-rr - Round-robin policy: Transmit packets in sequential order from the first available slave through the last. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance.

active-backup - Active-backup policy: Only one slave in the bond is active. A different slave becomes active if, and only if, the active slave fails. This mode provides fault tolerance.

balance-xor - XOR policy: Transmit based on the selected transmit hash policy. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance. broadcast Broadcast policy: transmits everything on all slave interfaces. This mode provides fault tolerance.

802.3ad IEEE - 802.3ad Dynamic link aggregation. Creates aggregation groups that share the same speed and duplex settings. Utilizes all slaves in the active aggregator according to the 802.3ad specification.

balance-tlb - Adaptive transmit load balancing: channel bonding that does not require any special switch support. The outgoing traffic is distributed according to the current load (computed relative to the speed) on each slave. Incoming traffic is received by the current slave. If the receiving slave fails, another slave takes over the MAC address of the failed receiving slave.

balance-alb - Adaptive load balancing: includes balance-tlb plus receive load balancing (rlb) for IPV4 traffic and does not require any special switch support. The receive load balancing is achieved by ARP negotiation.

Furthermore you will have to specify a value for MiiMon.

miimon - specifies the MII link monitoring frequency in milliseconds. This determines how often the link state of each slave is inspected for link failures. A value of zero disables MII link monitoring. A value of 100 is a good starting point. The default value is 0.

Finally, you will have to select the interfaces you wish to bond. Clicking on Save will conclude the configuration. Click on Activate Settings to apply the changes.

Hosts

Here you can define custom hostnames. This is especially useful, if you like to address hosts not covered by DNS. The overview titled “Host addresses” will display all locally defined hostnames. You can Edit existing hostnames or click Del to remove them one by one. By clicking Add a new host address you can add new hostnames. You will be requested to fill in the IP address, an FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) and an Aliases. Clicking on Save will add the new hostname. To apply the changes, please click Activate Settings.

DNS

Here you can configure the hostname of your appliance and the DNS server(s) that will be used. You have to configure at least one working DNS server to allow the appliance to resolve domain names to IP addresses. Add a “Search Domain” to automatically append it to hostnames that are not addressed by its FQDN, which would otherwise fail to resolve.

Ping

You can use Ping to verify that a host is reachable. To do so, please enter the IPv4, IPv6 address or hostname of the target you like to verify the connection to. Optionally you can enter the amount of Ping packets you like to send. The default for this value is 10 packets. To start the ping command, click the Ping button.

DOMOS6 Network Ping

The response will take a moment. Your browser will automatically refresh to update the displayed results. In our sample output we have sent four ping packets to a host.

BackupClient

The DOMOS6 backup client, available for Windows and Linux, enables easy pulling of a backup from the DOMOS6 system and writing of a restore to the DOMOS6 system. The backup client must be started on an external system and automatically connects to the DOMOS6 system. The backupclient program is designed to use in batch scripting or running by a backup system automatically.

The backupclient connects to a service on the DOMOS6 system. This service is only available if a corresponding client job is configured. The used default port is 9877, but this can be changed in the DOMOS6 WebUI.

The overview page shows if the Backup service is running.

DOMOS6 BackupNG Backup Client Overview

Server

This page shows the current server configuration. It is important, that the right hostname is used. The hostname is automatically imported from the network settings, so that manual entry is normally not necessary.

Next you can limit the interfaces on which the server is listening. Per default it is listening on all interfaces.

The last option on this page is the port number. Default is port 9877 (TCP).

Please have in mind, that after changing the hostname/IP or the port number all clientconfiguration files must be downloaded again. Otherwise it will not be possible to access the backup server.

DOMOS6 BackupNG Backup Client Server Conf

Jobs

Before a connect is possible via the backup client, a job must be configured first. This configuration job should be created for each individual backup client, even if they all work with the same data. Each client has its own login credentials inside the configuration file. If each client has its own configuration, then it is easy to revoke the access of a particular client by removing its configuration job.

The jobs table lists all configured client jobs:

Name - name of a job.

Type - type of backup.

Client configuration - Button to download the client configuration.

Del - Delete this job entry.

Edit - Edit this job entry.

The client configuration contains automatically generated login credentials (per client) and the server connection details. The information about the data to backup/restore are just stored on DOMOS6 itself.

To add a new job, please click on the button below the table.

Client SSL CACertificate

DOMOS6 offers the possibility to secure the WebUI by ensuring that the browser accessing the WebUI is allowed to do so. The browser will have to present a valid SSL client certificate to be granted access to the WebUI. To do this, you will have to add a CA-Certificate by clicking on New Client SSL CA-Certificate. Click on Browse to select the CA-Certificate file and Upload to have it sent to the server. Once the file is uploaded, the WebUI will inform you whether the upload was successful and presents you an acknowledgment.

Message: New CAcertificate uploaded
Message: Issuer: C=DE, ST=NRW, L=Dortmund, O=Secudos GmbH,
CN=Secudos Root CA, emailAddress=support@secudos.de
Message: Valid: Jan 5 03:44:54 2010 GMT to Jan 3 03:44:54 2020 GMT
Message: CACertificate accepted

To enforce client certificates, check the enable using client SSL certificates checkbox, click on save and finally Activate Settings to complete the configuration. Your browser will also need to be configured for this setup. You will need to import a valid client certificate. Please refer to the documentation of your browser to obtain instructions on how to import a certificate.

Logs

DOMOS6 includes a log viewer to inspect the system log files directly from the WebUI. You can download the log files by selecting the Download button or click on the Show button to view a specific log. While viewing a log file you can let the WebUI automatically reload the contents of the log file, allowing a continuous view of the log output.

Remote

Logs of the services can be sent to an external syslog server. The configuration dialog contains the following items:

Remote logging - enables the logging to an external server

IP address - IP address of syslog server

Port - port on external server (default is 514)

User TCP - use TCP protocol instead of UDP. This allows a reliable logging to the external server. The syslog server has to support this protocol,too.

Retry Count (TCP) - set count of tries to send a log to the external server if TCP is in use. The default value of -1 means infinite retries.

DOMOS6 Syslog

There are two ways to connect to the DOMOS6 Console: Using SSH or a serial console. The default passwords are the following:

DescriptionUsernamePassword
Super-Userrootsecudos
Normal Useradminsecudos
caution

Please note that a direct login as root user is not possible.

SSH login / VM

For logging into the DOMOS6 system via SSH you need an SSH client on your workstation. For Windows users we recommend using PuTTY. Most Linux or other Unix-like systems have an SSH client installed by default. If you did not change the IP of the appliance you will be able to connect using the IP DHCP-IP.

For example on Linux:

ssh admin@DHCP-IP

Using the default configuration it is not possible to use the root account directly. To get root access you have to connect to the appliance as user admin first and obtain super user rights by using the command su -. To change the password of the user admin or root use the WebUI or change them directly by using the commandline tool passwd.

SSH login / Hardware-Appliance

For logging into the DOMOS6 system via SSH you need an SSH client on your workstation. For Windows users we recommend using PuTTY. Most Linux or other Unix-like systems have an SSH client installed by default. If you did not change the IP of the appliance you will be able to connect using the IP 192.168.2.1.

For example on Linux:

ssh admin@192.168.2.1

Using the default configuration it is not possible to use the root account directly. To get root access you have to connect to the appliance as user admin first and obtain super user rights by using the command su -. To change the password of the user admin or root use the WebUI or change them directly by using the commandline tool passwd.

Serial console

For logging into the DOMOS6 system via the serial console you need a terminal program on your workstation. For Windows users we recommend hyperterminal and for Linux minicom. Configure your terminal programm to use the following settings:

Speed115200bps
ParityNone
Data8
Stopbits1
tip

These settings are often predefined as 115200, 8N1.
