1.729 Viprinet-Router

This page describes the Viprinet-Router device driver and the device window for this driver.

The Viprinet-Router driver is part of a group of device drivers used to monitor the Viprinet Hub / Router device family and thereby taking into account the modular concept of these devices:

Viprinet-HUB monitors some general status parameters of a Viprinet Hub device.

Viprinet-Router monitors some general status parameters of a Viprinet Router device, including the state of the router's WAN interfaces. It permits to reconnect / reset each individual WAN interface.

Viprinet-Tunnel monitors the status and performance of one VPN tunnel in a Viprinet Hub. There is one instance of this device to configured for each VPN tunnel to monitor.

All three device drivers use the ssh command line interface of the Viprinet device for monitoring and control.

Device window pages

The following table shows which device window pages are available with this individual device type. Tool-bar functions not mentioned here are described at the general description of device windows .

• --- The general status parameters of the device
• --- The status parameter of the interface slots / WAN interfaces of the device.
• --- The faults page.
• --- The device info page.
• --- The maintenance page. The configuration parameters described below are set at this page.

Configuration parameters

At the maintenance page of the device window there are a couple of configuration parameters which must be set to make the software talk to the device.

• parameter --- description
• address --- The ssh address specification for the device. The full address specification consists of the following fields:aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:pppp username password
  • aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd --- The IP address of the device in 'dotted quad' notation. This field is mandatory.
  • pppp --- The IP port number where the device accepts ssh connections. The port number may be omitted, the driver uses the standard port 22 in this case.
  • username --- The user name to log in at the device. The user name is mandatory.
  • password --- The password to login at the device. This is mandatory as well.

The Viprinet hub / router devices use 'root' as username and 'viprinet' as password by default.

Please note that multiple device driver instances which are talking to the same device must be configured with the same interface.
