New Features and Enhancements

This section summarizes the new features in the Device GUI software version 2.17.0.

Enhancements to Device GUI on TQ6702 GEN2-R
Available on: TQ6702 GEN2-R running AlliedWare Plus 5.5.4-0 onwards
From version 2.17.0 onwards, the TQ6702 GEN2-R (Wireless AP router) supports additional Device GUI features.
These newly supported Device GUI features include:

• Entities – support for selecting bond and VAP interfaces in entities
• Bridging
• PPP interface support on Interface Management page
• IPv6 support for WAN interfaces
• Dynamic DNS client support
• IPsec – changing maximum TCP segment size and MTU size on the Interface Management page
• ISAKMP and IPsec profiles
• IPsec tunnels (basic tunnel creation)
• DNS Forwarding

Alongside this, authentication options have been updated on the Security setting of attached clients. You can now select from:

AMF Application Proxy
You can configure the following fields for AMF Application Proxy:

• AMF Application Proxy Server
• Critical Mode

MAC Filter + External RADIUS
You can configure the following fields for MAC Filter + External RADIUS:

• RADIUS Server
• MAC Authentication Username Separator
• MAC Authentication Username Case
• MAC Authentication Password

This feature requires AlliedWare Plus version 5.5.4-0.1 onwards.

Accessing and Updating the Web-based GUI

This section describes how to access the GUI, check the version, and update it.

Important Note : Very old browsers may not be able to access the Device GUI. From AlliedWare Plus version 5.5.2-2.1 onwards, to improve the security of the communication for the Device GUI, ciphersuites which use RSA or CBC based algorithms have been disabled, as they are no longer considered secure. Note that the removal of ciphersuites using those algorithms may prevent some old versions of browsers from communicating with the device using HTTPS.

Browse to the GUI
Perform the following steps to browse to the GUI.

1. If you haven’t already, add an IP address to an interface. For example: awplus> enable
   • awplus# configure terminal
   • awplus(config)# interface vlan1
   • awplus(config-if)# ip address 192.168.1.1/24
   • Alternatively, on unconfigured devices you can use the default address, which is: « on switches: 169.254.42.42 « on AR-Series: 192.168.1.1
2. Open a web browser and browse to the IP address from step 1.
3. The GUI starts up and displays a login screen. Log in with your username and password. The default username is manager and the default password is friend.

Check the GUI version
To see which version you have, open the System > About page in the GUI and check the field called GUI version.
If you have an earlier version than 2.17.0, update it as described in “Update the GUI on switches” on page 9 or “Update the GUI on AR-Series devices” on page 10.

Update the GUI on switches

Perform the following steps through the Device GUI and command-line interface if you have been running an earlier version of the GUI and need to update it.

1. Obtain the GUI file from our Software Download center. The filename for v2.17.0 of the GUI is:

   • « awplus-gui_554_32.gui
   • « awplus-gui_553_32.gui, or
   • « awplus-gui_552_32.gui
     Make sure that the version string in the filename (e.g. 554) matches the version of AlliedWare Plus running on the switch. The file is not device- specific; the same file works on all devices.

2. Log into the GUI:
   Start a browser and browse to the device’s IP address, using HTTPS. You can access the GUI via any reachable IP address on any interface.
   The GUI starts up and displays a login screen. Log in with your username and password. The default username is manager and the default password is friend.

3. Go to System > File Management

4. Click Upload.

5. Locate and select the GUI file you downloaded from our Software Download center. The new GUI file is added to the File Management window.
   You can delete older GUI files, but you do not have to.

6. Reboot the switch. Or alternatively, use a Serial console connection or SSH to access the CLI, then use the following commands to stop and restart the HTTP service: awplus> enable

   • awplus# configure terminal

   • awplus(config)# no service http

   • awplus(config)# service http
     To confirm that the correct file is now in use, use the commands:

   • awplus(config)# exit

   • awplus# show http

Update the GUI on AR-Series devices

Prerequisite : On AR-Series devices, if the firewall is enabled, you need to create a firewall rule to permit traffic generated by the device that is destined for external services. See the “Configuring a Firewall Rule for Required External Services” section in the Firewall and Network Address Translation (NAT) Feature Overview and Configuration Guide.
Perform the following steps through the command-line interface if you have been running an earlier version of the GUI and need to update it.

1. Use a Serial console connection or SSH to access the CLI, then use the following commands to download the new GUI:
   • awplus> enable
   • awplus# update webgui now

Perform the following steps if you have been running an earlier version of the GUI and need to update it.

1. Use a Serial console connection or SSH to access the CLI, then use the following commands to download the new GUI: awplus> enable
   awplus# update webgui now

2. Browse to the GUI and check that you have the latest version now, on the System > About page. You should have v2.17.0 or later.

Verifying the GUI File
On devices that support crypto secure mode, to ensure that the GUI file has not been corrupted or interfered with during download, you can verify the GUI file. To do this, enter Global Configuration mode and use the command:
awplus(config)#crypto verify gui
Where is the known correct hash of the file.
This command compares the SHA256 hash of the release file with the correct hash for the file. The correct hash is listed in the table of Hash values below or in the release’s sha256sum file, which is available from the Allied Telesis Download Center.

Caution If the verification fails, the following error message will be generated: “% Verification Failed”
In the case of verification failure, please delete the release file and contact Allied Telesis support.

If you want the device to re-verify the file when it boots up, add the crypto verify command to the boot configuration file.
