Switched Rack PDU

USER’S GUIDE

®

To ensure that data and communication between the Switched Rack PDU and the client interfaces, such as the control console and the Web interface, cannot be intercepted, you can provide a greater level of security by using one or more of the following encryption-based methods:

•For the Web interface, use the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols.

•To encrypt user names and passwords for control console access, use the Secure SHell (SSH) protocol.

•To encrypt user names, passwords, and data for the secure transfer of files, use the Secure CoPy (SCP) protocol.

For more information on these protocols for encryption-based security, see Secure SHell (SSH) and Secure CoPy (SCP) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS).
