XML Configuration File

The XML configuration file conforms to the rules laid out by the DTD document. The configuration file

can either be produced by an application equipped to do so, or manually in a text editor. For

information about the form and format of the Extensible Markup Language, refer to the World Wide

Web Consortium XML Web site at http://www.w3.org/XML/

The following is an example of an XML file that could be used to configure Alteon:

XML File Transmission

Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is used as the transport medium for sending XML configuration files to

Alteon. An SSL client is needed to connect to Alteon using certificate authentication. This SSL client

can be a standalone application or embedded as part of another application. After authentication

takes place, the file can be sent securely.

Notes

• Certificates used for authentication purposes must be in PEM format. Self-signed certificates are

supported for this purpose.

• A certificate can be either obtained via TFTP/FTP or by simply pasting the certificate directly

through the CLI:

FTC1 - ADC-VX - Main# /cfg/sys/access/xml/gtcert

Import from text or file in PEM format [text|file] [text]:

• Running the “gtcert” is only allowed when you are using SSH to access Alteon, if you are using

telnet you will get the following error:

FTC1 - ADC-VX - Main# /cfg/sys/access/xml/gtcert

“

Access Denied: This operation can only be performed over a secure connection such as HTTPS

or SSH. Connect to Alteon using a secure protocol and retry.”
