How do I access TR7 Web Console?

TR7 Web Console can be accessed in four ways: (1) Web UI - directly from the browser after logging in, no installation required; (2) SSH - secure shell access for remote management and scripting; (3) Serial/TTY - out-of-band access via serial port for recovery scenarios; (4) VGA/Console - direct console access, useful for virtual machines and physical appliances.

What diagnostic commands are available in sys-cmd?

TR7 sys-cmd provides 28 diagnostic tools including: Network tools (ping, ping6, traceroute, dig, nslookup, fping, iftop, netstat, ss, nmap), HTTP tools (curl, wget, h1load, wrk), SSL/TLS tools (ssldump, sslscan, tcpdump), and System tools (arp, arping, ip, ipcalc, route-table, htop, file management). These tools enable instant troubleshooting without leaving the appliance.

Can I capture network traffic with TR7 CLI?

Yes, TR7 CLI includes tcpdump and ssldump for packet capture. You can capture traffic with commands like 'sys-cmd tcpdump -i eth0 -c 100 | to-file capture.pcap' and save output to downloadable files. Targeted capture reduces noise and speeds up investigation while minimizing production impact.

What are pipe operations in TR7 CLI?

TR7 CLI supports Unix-like pipe operations for filtering and transforming output. Available pipe commands include: grep (filter by pattern), wc (count lines/words), sort, head, tail, uniq, cut, and to-file. You can chain up to 8 pipe commands. Example: 'sys-cmd netstat -an | grep ESTABLISHED | wc' counts established connections.

How many CLI commands does TR7 support?

TR7 CLI provides 400+ API commands for configuration management across 8 categories: Load Balancer (pools, backends, rules, health checks), App Access Management (authentication, SSO), Network (interfaces, firewall, routes), GEO Traffic Manager (DNS, data centers), Settings, WAAP, Zones, and Users. Additionally, 28 sys-cmd diagnostic tools are available for troubleshooting.

Does TR7 CLI support output formatting?

Yes, TR7 CLI supports multiple output formats via the --output flag: JSON for automation and scripting, tab-separated for easy parsing, comma-separated (CSV) for spreadsheet export, semicolon-separated, and compact format for condensed output. This enables easy integration with external tools and CI/CD pipelines.

Is Web Console safe to use in production?

Yes, TR7 Web Console is designed for production use with controlled diagnostics. It provides targeted command execution rather than unrestricted shell access. All actions are logged in the audit trail. When used with proper authorization and runbooks, it shortens investigation time while maintaining security.

What keyboard shortcuts are available?

TR7 CLI supports keyboard shortcuts: Tab for autocomplete (shows available options), Up/Down arrows for history navigation and option selection, Enter to execute commands, Ctrl+C to cancel operations. The --info flag on commands shows detailed descriptions. Type '?' after any command to see available parameters.

What tools are available for SSL/TLS troubleshooting?

TR7 CLI delivers ssldump and sslscan tools for SSL/TLS troubleshooting. With ssldump, SSL/TLS protocol traffic can be monitored in real time, the handshake process analyzed, and certificate information displayed. With sslscan, the cipher suites supported by servers, protocol versions, and vulnerabilities can be scanned. Results can be saved and downloaded with to-file.

How is network scanning and security analysis done?

TR7 CLI includes the nmap network scanning tool. Port scanning, service detection, and host discovery can be performed. The arp command can also be used to view the ARP table, and arping to send ARP requests to specific hosts. The netstat and ss commands show network connections and socket states in detail. With iftop, real-time bandwidth usage can be monitored.

How are HTTP load testing tools used?

TR7 CLI includes the h1load and wrk HTTP load testing tools. With h1load you can run HTTP/1 protocol tests, and with wrk more advanced HTTP load tests. Concurrent connection count, requests/second, and latency statistics are measured. With curl command, individual HTTP/HTTPS requests can be tested and response headers analyzed.

How is DNS troubleshooting done?

TR7 CLI delivers dig and nslookup DNS query tools. A, AAAA, MX, TXT, CNAME, and other DNS record types can be queried. Queries can be sent to specific DNS servers, DNS propagation can be checked, and resolution times measured. Network connectivity to DNS servers can be verified with traceroute and ping.

What are the file download and transfer tools?

TR7 CLI includes wget file download, ftp FTP client, and telnet protocol client tools. With wget, files can be downloaded over HTTP/HTTPS/FTP, with restart and recursive download. With the FTP client, file transfer, directory listing, and remote server management are possible. All output can be saved to local files with to-file.

How is IP calculation and network planning done?

TR7 CLI delivers the ipcalc IP calculator tool. Subnet mask calculation, CIDR notation conversion, network address and broadcast address determination, and usable host count calculation can be done. With the ip command, interface information can be viewed, and with route-table, routing tables can be viewed and managed.

How is system monitoring and performance analysis done?

TR7 CLI includes the htop interactive process viewer tool. CPU, memory usage, running processes, and system resources can be monitored in real time. With iftop, bandwidth usage on network interfaces can be viewed by host. With netstat -s, network statistics can be analyzed, and with ss, socket states.

How is bulk ping and network reachability testing done?

TR7 CLI delivers the fping fast multi-host ping tool. By sending ping to multiple IP addresses simultaneously, network reachability can be checked rapidly. With ping6, IPv6 ICMP echo tests are performed. With traceroute, the packet path to the destination and latency at each hop can be viewed. Results can be filtered with grep for analysis.
