9.726 Viprinet-Hub-Redundancy-HTTPS

This page describes the Viprinet-Hub-Redundancy-HTTPS device driver and the device window for this driver.

The Viprinet-Hub-Redundancy-HTTPS device is used in a Viprinet hub hotspare configuration consisting of main and backup hub. After the backup hub has replaced the main hub, a manual release via the webpage is necessary. This driver is used to release the temporary replacement Hub from replacing the main hub via the sat-nms M&C System.

The Viprinet-Hub-Redundancy-HTTPS device 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-SNMP monitors some general status parameters of a Viprinet Hub device like temperature and cpu load - not VPN tunnel details. Control of parameters is not possible.

Viprinet-Tunnel-SNMP monitors the status and performance of one VPN tunnel in a Viprinet Hub and not the Hub itself. There is one instance of this device to configured for each VPN tunnel to monitor. Control of parameters is not possible.

Viprinet-Rugged-Router-SNMP monitors some general status parameters of a Viprinet Router device, including the general state of the router's WAN interfaces. Control of parameters is not possible.

Viprinet-Rugged-Router-HTTPS monitors detailed status parameters of a Viprinet Router device, including the detailed state of the router's WAN interfaces. It permits to reconnect / reset each individual WAN interface and also control of WiFi access point, Roaming and APN.

The Viprinet Hub, Tunnel and Router SNMP device drivers are monitoring only. A Viprinet Router is controlled over the HTTPS device driver and the Viprinet-HTTPS protocol.

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 .

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 IP address of the device to control in 'dotted quad' notation. The address may be followed by a port number, separated by a colon. If no port number is specified, the HTTPS standard port (443) is used.
userName The user name to log in at the Viprinet Web-GUI. The default value used by Viprinet routers out of the box is 'root'.
password The password to log in at the Viprinet Web-GUI. The default value used by Viprinet routers out of the box is 'viprinet'.

During normal operation the driver is not logged in at the Viprinet Hub. Once the button "release hub" is pressed, the device driver performs a login and trigger the release procedure. Both Viprinet Hubs perform a reboot and go back to normal operation state as main hub and standby hub.
