Web portal and CLI

Run Dandy vBNG from the browser or from the command line. Both do the same job: the web Config tab drives the same configuration as the CLI.

Web portal

Everything your NOC needs, in the browser

Live subscribers, traffic, ports, logs and the full configuration. Click a screenshot to see it full size.

DandyBNG web portal: Dashboard page — **Dashboard** Live server: 824 PPPoE subscribers over five OLT VLANs, CPU temperatures, network cards, memory and disk on one page.

DandyBNG web portal: Connections page — **Connections** Every online subscriber with IP, plan speed, traffic, MAC, port, VLAN and MTU, 50 per page. Search by user name, IP or MAC.

DandyBNG web portal: Live traffic of one subscriber page — **Live traffic of one subscriber** Click a subscriber to watch the download and upload rate every 2 seconds and every open connection with its NAT address, destination and speed. Here: 84.8 Mbps download.

DandyBNG web portal: Traffic split page — **Traffic split** Where your bandwidth goes: your own AS, the rest of India and international transit, plus the top 10 organisations. Here: 1.5 Gbit/s, 98 percent within India.

DandyBNG web portal: Interfaces page — **Interfaces** Every port and VLAN with state, speed, MTU, addresses and traffic.

DandyBNG web portal: Logs page — **Logs** Every login, RADIUS reply and disconnect as it happens, with one-click filters for failed logins, expired accounts, LCP time-outs and service-name mismatches, and a per-subscriber log.

DandyBNG web portal: Config page — **Config** The whole configuration in the browser: VLANs, service names, NAT, interfaces, bonding, RADIUS, pools, IPv6, DNS, SNMP and more. Changes are previewed and committed like a CLI commit.

DandyBNG web portal: QoS speed groups page — **QoS speed groups** Give an IX, a cache, gaming networks or chosen ports their own speed and priority, in numbered steps, with network lists uploaded from a text file.

Dashboard, Connections, live traffic, traffic split, Interfaces and Logs are from a DandyBNG V7.3.2 server in production with about 820 subscribers; Config, QoS and Stat from a lab server. User names, site names, addresses, MAC addresses and keys are masked.

Web portal

Six tabs, three login levels

Dashboard and Connections

Sessions per port and VLAN, hardware state, and every online subscriber with search and disconnect.

Interfaces and Logs

Port state, speed, MTU and traffic. Logs filtered by failed logins, expired accounts, LCP time-outs and service-name mismatches, plus one subscriber's own log.

Stat

RADIUS counters, physical ports with optic details, DDoS watch, NAT sessions, top 20 traffic and the split between local, in-country and international traffic.

Config

Host name, PPPoE VLANs, MTU / MRU, service names, NAT, interfaces, bonding, RADIUS, DNS, IP pools, IPv6, IPoE, log server, SNMP, speedtest, FastPADO, QoS, restart, audit log and system health.

Login levels

Viewer sees the pages, operator can also disconnect and unban, superuser also gets the Config tab. Failed logins lock an address for five minutes.

Audit log

Every configuration change and every restart from the web is recorded with the user who made it.

CLI

A command line for every setting

Type a change, preview it, commit it. Every show command answers in plain words. The complete command list is in the user guide.

QoS speed groups

DandyBNG> show policy qos
qos: active  (2 group(s) with speed; plan is untouched, each group is its own cap)
group LOCAL (id 1): speed all download 50M upload 50M time any
  network: 198.51.100.0/24 198.51.101.0/24
  priority: 20  (lower wins when a network group and a port group both match)
group WEB (id 2): speed all download 20M upload 20M time any
  network: (none)
  port: 443 8080  (TCP+UDP)
  priority: 1  (lower wins when a network group and a port group both match)

What each VLAN accepts

DandyBNG> show service pppoe-server service-name
blank service name (global, every port and VLAN): enabled
rules: <name> = only that service name; blank = only devices that send no service name; anyname = everything
eth0-10G vlan 82       accepts: devices that send no service name (blank, global switch), "FTTH"   [FTTH]

Ports

DandyBNG> show interfaces
Interface  Description  State  Speed  MTU   Duplex  Mac                IP
