Configuration Interface > Overview
 
Overview
The Router Manager Configurator interface has two panes. The left pane always displays a hierarchical list of folders which can be expanded to expose more detailed information.
The Router Manager folder is always at the top level in the list, and typically includes the Physical routers and the Logical routers subfolders. The subfolder structure is variable and is established during the system setup. There are two tabs at the top of the left pane: Configuration and Dynamic Control.
Use the Configuration tab to set up and configure your system, after which the router service and clients must be restarted for changes to become effective.
Use the Dynamic Control tab to perform any of a subset of live configuration changes, after which no restart is required.
In either tab, click a folder or a list item to select it; double-click a folder to open it. Both tabs also have a tool bar with buttons to open and close the router manager folder, at the top of the list (not the currently selected folder). The Close button is available when the router manager folder is open; conversely, the Open button is available when the router manager folder is closed. The Configuration tab also has a Save button which becomes available whenever you make some change to the system configuration.
The right pane displays data-entry zones and information areas associated with the current left-pane selection. When a logical router is selected in the left pane, the right pane has additional tabs.
