1.4 Management Overview
You can use the following ways to manage the NXC.
Web Configurator
The Web Configurator allows easy NXC setup and management using an Internet browser. This User’s
Guide provides information about the Web Configurator.
Command-Line Interface (CLI)
The CLI allows you to use text-based commands to configure the NXC. You can access it using remote
management (for example, SSH or Telnet) or via the physical or Web Configurator console port. See the
Command Reference Guide for CLI details. The default settings for the console port are as follows:
1.5 Object-based Configuration
The NXC stores information or settings as objects. You use these objects to configure many of the NXC’s
features and settings. Once you configure an object, you can reuse it in configuring other features.
When you change an object’s settings, the NXC automatically updates all the settings or rules that use
the object.
You can create address objects based on an interface’s IP address, subnet, or gateway. The NXC
automatically updates every rule or setting that uses these objects whenever the interface’s IP address
settings change. For example, if you change an Ethernet interface’s IP address, the NXC automatically
updates the rules or settings that use the interface-based, LAN subnet address object.
You can use the Configuration > Object screens to create objects before you configure features that
use them. If you are in a screen that uses objects, you can also usually select Create new Object to be
able to configure a new object.
Use the Object Reference screen to see what objects are configured and which configuration settings
reference specific objects.
