Westermo OS Management Guide

Version 4.17.0-0

The startup-config.lnk file holds the file name of the startup configuration file.
The format of this file is:

❼ No leading directories, to avoid any / or \ confusion
❼ No end-of-line after file name, to avoid any DOS/UNIX/Mac confusion
❼ File name stored at first position in file, e.g., config0.cfg

As of WeOS v4.17.0 there is no CLI or Web function for setting up a USB configu-
ration deployment memory stick for use with WeOS. Meanwhile the easiest way
might be to

1. perform a USB auto-backup (see

section 7.1.6.1

), and

2. plug the USB stick into a PC and rename the backup directory to deploy.

7.1.8

Certificate and Key Management

WeOS supports upload and management of certificate and key files. As of WeOS v4.17.0,
use of certificates is limited to IPsec VPNs and SSL VPNs (OpenVPN), see

chap-

ters 35

and

36

.

It is possible to upload/import PKCS#12 bundles containing public certificate, pri-
vate key
and the certificate of the issuing certificate authority (CA certificate).
The PKCS bundle can be password protected (recommended).

It is also possible to upload individual certificate files in PEM format or Open-
VPN static key files. For further information on certificate management, see

sec-

tions 7.2.6

(Web) and

7.3

(CLI).

7.1.9

Managing LLDP

The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a standardised layer 2 protocol (IEEE
802.1AB[

12

]), which advertises information about the device itself and its ca-

pabilities to other devices within a LAN. The LLDP protocol also advertises from
which port the LLDP packet was sent. This enables the unit to build up a local
view of the remote ports on neighbour devices it is connected to for each local
port. This information is then stored in an SNMP MIB (LLDP MIB[

12

]), which can

be used by NMS-systems to draw a topology map of the network.

Examples of information advertised by LLDP:
