2.24. Gateways HG 3500 and HG 3575 - Changing Gateway UI MODE Previous topic Parent topic Child topic Next topic

IP gateways access can be secured using parameter UIMODE, which can be accessed in AMO CGWB and STMIB or from Assistant (Access Management -> Security Mode Configuration).

UIMODE:

  1. CLASSIC
    When the board is in CLASSIC mode, you can quickly access the SSH, WBM, and SFTP buttons (Remote access) from the Gateway Manager page. You can also use browsers or SSH clients like Putty and WinSCP to access the gateways directly. Other operations that you can perform during CLASSIC mode include Backup & Restore, OS upgrades, Loadware upgrades, Platform HF upgrades, Bootstrapping (DLS SPE), SNMP, and more.
    There is no filtering based upon the origin/source address of the HTTPS and SSH client.
  2. MAINTAIN
    When the function of the board is changed from CLASSIC mode to MAINTAIN, the same operations that can be performed in CLASSIC mode can also be performed in the Assistant Gateway Manager.
    INFO:
    In MAINTAIN mode direct access from Browser and SSH clients like putty, WinSCP is not possible anymore, only via Assistant Gateway Manager.
    The difference between CLASSIC and MAINTAIN mode in Gateway Manager is that a lock appears in the menu next to the board (see Figure 43) and by clicking that lock from MAINTAIN you can switch the board to SECURE.
  3. SECURE
    When the board has SECURE mode activated, not even Gateway Manager can access the HTTPS or SSH functions. The remote access buttons in the Gateway Manager are no longer available and there is no longer access to the operations presented in the CLASSIC/MAINTAIN mode (backup & restore, OS upgrade, LW upgrade, Platform HF upgrade and so on) (see Figure 44).
    IMPORTANT:
    The current UIMODE configuration of any board will not be changed during the update.
    Starting with V11, the default UIMODE is changed from “CLASSIC” to “MAINTAIN” .
You can change a board from CLASSIC UIMODE to MAINTAIN UIMODE fromCGWB -> MTYPE (CGW) -> MGNTDATA -> UIMODE -> MAINTAIN.
Assistant – GW Manager:
A gateway in MAINTAIN/SECURE mode will display a padlock icon (after board list is updated):
