Syntax

  • To show the Gaia Portal web server configuration:

    show web
          daemon-enable
          session-timeout
          ssl-port
          ssl3-enabled
          table-refresh-rate

  • To configure the Gaia Portal web server:

    set web
          daemon-enable {on | off}
          session-timeout <Timeout>
          ssl-port <Port>

          table-refresh-rate <Rate>

Important - After you add, configure, or delete features, run the "save config" command to save the settings permanently. Scalable Platforms save the changes automatically.

Parameters

Parameter

Description

daemon-enable {on | off}

Enables or disables the Gaia Portal web daemon.

  • Range: 1 - 65535
