In this example, you will learn how to manage your Safire chassis, including chassis IP address management, software update, identity and access management, support archive generation, and color theme.
Click the settings icon on the navigation bar. This will direct you to the Settings page.
Use Settings > System > Management Interface to change the chassis IP address by entering IPv4 address, IPv4 subnet mask, and IPv4 gateway, and then click APPLY CHANGES. Safire will automatically reboot and apply the change.
Go to Settings > System > SSL Certificates, and click ADD SSL CERTIFICATE to add your SSL certificate to the management plane, and then click APPLY CHANGES. Safire will automatically reboot and apply the change.
Download the .ximg file you need. The filename should start with safire- followed by the version number, e.g. safire-v2.0.0.ximg. This is the only image file you need for updating your Safire chassis. Then just follow the steps below to update your chassis:
Go to Settings > IAM > Identity and Access Management and click CREATE NEW USER.
Safire supports three different roles with different authorization levels, as illustrated by the table below:
Table: Safire user role authorization levels
Go to Settings > License > License Management to update and view your licenses.
Click LAUNCH LICENSE PORTAL to go to Xena License Portal to manage your device licenses.
Click MANUAL UPDATE to upload your license file to the chassis.
Click AUTO UPDATE to let your browser automatically downloads the license from the internet and upload it to the chassis.
Go to Settings > Support, use the switch button called Enable Logging to enable or disable detailed logging for the support archive.
If logging is enabled, a detailed command log will be included in the support archive. This will help Xena Support to debug problems you have encountered.
If logging is disabled, only system event log will be included in the support archive. Disabling the logging function help also increase the SafireManager’s responsiveness.
Go to Settings > Support Archive, add your comment and click DOWNLOAD SUPPORT ARCHIVE.
To back up chassis configuration, go to Settings > System > Reset and Restore, and click DOWNLOAD BACKUP. The backup file contains test case configurations, test results, and traffic profile configurations.
You can restore your test cases, test results, and traffic profiles by clicking RESTORE FROM BACKUP FILE and uploading the backup file.
To reset the chassis back to factory default, click REST TO FACTORY DEFAULT.
Click the power off button to shut down the chassis.
Click the reboot button to restart the chassis.
Click the user icon and click the log off icon to log off the current user.
