For information about ClearBOX in general, please refer to the ClearBOX general guide. This guide is for ClearBOX 300 specific operations and issues.

Features

This technical guide is meant to help engineers in specific needs and high level configuration options for ClearBOX 300 series of appliances. Delight click hither for a general overview of features listed in ClearBOX 300.

Ports and Functions

The port above the USB is a serial port.

Looking at the front of the ClearBOX from left to correct are the post-obit:

eth0
eth1
eth2
eth3
eth4
eth5
serial0(ttyS0)
USB0
USB1
display
display controls

eth0: First Ethernet port. Configured for External by default and set to DHCP (Internet access provider)

eth1: 2nd Ethernet port. Configured for LAN by default and set to 192.168.one.one

eth2: unconfigured

eth3: unconfigured

eth4: unconfigured

eth5: Sixth Ethernet port. Configure for LAN by default with DHCP running. This port is useful for those that want to configure their ClearBOX without an initial monitor. Set up to 172.22.22.22 and can be accessed at https://172.22.22.22:81

serial0: This port looks similar an ethernet port but is in fact a Serial Comm port and can be used for console access, modems, or serial heartbeat in high availability modes.

USB0: This is a USB two.0 port that can exist used for keyboard input, USB storage, or whatever other Linux capable USB purpose.

USBone: This is a USB two.0 port that tin can be used for keyboard input, USB storage, or any other Linux capable USB purpose.

ClearBOX 300 bypass

The ClearBOX 300 controls its featherbed unit of measurement through the BIOS, you volition need to modify the BIOS settings of ClearBOX 300 to back up the Inline Transparent Content Filter mode or the Mission Critical Gateway fashion.

Indicator Calorie-free	Status
Green	NICs on featherbed segment are active and traffic to each NIC is distinct.
Red	NICs are beingness bypassed, the signal is being coupled.
Blackness	The NICs are physically unreachable/offline and the point is not being bypassed.

ClearBOX Gen1 and Gen2

To enable the bypass on ClearBOX Generation 1 or Generation 2, enter the BIOS at power on by pressing the Delete key. Navigate to Advanced > Onboard Featherbed Control. For Transparent Content Filtration Bridge, set Group ane to "Non-Normal, BPE: Enable". For Mission Disquisitional Gateway set both Grouping 1 and Group 2 to "Non-Normal, BPE: Enable" (this is only required for the backup unit). If you lot are changing a previously configure bypass to regular modes without bypass support, set the Group to "Normal, BPE: Disable". for each of the 2 bypass segments (For mission critical gateway support). To relieve these settings, press <Escape> until you reach the Advanced screen. Then navigate to Go out and select Save Changes and Exit. Yous will know that the bypass is working past the land of the bypass indicator light adjacent to the eth0 jack.

ClearBOX Gen3 and Gen 4

To enable the bypass on ClearBOX Generation 3, boot the system to the control prompt. Ensure that the eziod module is installed:

yum install eziod

Adjacent, decide your featherbed system directory:

ls /sys/bus/i2c/devices/

vi-0022/ 6-0026/ i2c-0/  i2c-1/  i2c-2/  i2c-three/  i2c-4/  i2c-v/  i2c-6/

Hither you tin come across the two bypass segments every bit detected by the driver:

6-0022 (bypass1)
half-dozen-0026 (bypass0)

To manipulate the condition of the BIOS for the bypass segment, echo the desired value to the nextboot0 parameter:

0=bypass disabled (light-green)
ane=bypass enabled (red)

For case, if you wanted your backup server to boot with bypass enabled (required for mission disquisitional installations), perform the following:

echo 1 > /sys/motorcoach/i2c/devices/6-0022/nextboot0 echo one > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/half-dozen-0026/nextboot0

Featherbed technical

Contained of the BIOS, the bypass is controlled and manipulated at the Bone level by echoing values into the controls located on they /sys partition.

bypass0
- 0=featherbed disabled (green)
- i=bypass open up (black)
- 2=bypass enabled (red)
period0
- configurable to the number of seconds for the watchdog timer to expire
wdt0
- 0=disable watchdog timer (default)
- 1=enable watchdog timer

Decide ClearBOX type

ClearBOX 300 Gen 3 was introduced in Q4 of 2012. Any boxes purchased before Q4 2012 are Gen1 or Gen 2. Generation 3 ClearBOX 300 uses Intel i7 processors. To decide if your ClearBOX is Gen3 run the following:

[root@organization ~]# true cat /proc/cpuinfo |grep "model proper noun" model proper noun	: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz model name	: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ iii.40GHz model proper noun	: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz model name	: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz model name	: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz model name	: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz model proper noun	: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ iii.40GHz model name	: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ three.40GHz

ClearBOX Gen1 and Gen2

The locations of the sys controls for Generation 1 and 2 ClearBOX are located at:

Bypass1
- /sys/motorbus/i2c/devices/0-0026/
Bypass2
- /sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-0022/

Bypass2
- /sys/bus/i2c/devices/14-0022/

Thermal Cruise Mode

ClearBOX 300 is shipped past default in Thermal Cruise Mode which means that the fans will step upwardly their speed commensurate with the oestrus of the processor. This is useful for situations where the ClearBOX may be used in environments which are sensitive to besides much noise. This mode also helps preserve the longevity of the fans and reduces the amount of grit that tin can accrue inside ClearBOX.

This mode is non as appropriate for heavy use applications like virtualization or heavy apply under large content filtration, web services, or database loads. To modify this setting, enter the BIOS and naviagate to Advanced > Hardware Wellness Configuration. Alter the three fans to Manual Mode to enable the fans at total speed all the time.

BIOS Update

A BIOS update exists for ClearBOX 300 Gen1 which brings more features to aggrandize retentivity and processor options. Essentially it transforms a Gen1 box to a Gen2 box. There is no update path from Gen1/two to Gen3. Contact support for more than information.

Setting ClearBOX to factory defaults
