APC AP9630 installation manual Telnet and SSH, Simple Network Management Protocol Snmp

Telnet and SSH

You can access the command line interface through Telnet or Secure SHell (SSH), depending on which is enabled. To enable these access methods, select the Administration tab, the Network menu on the top menu bar, and the access option under Console on the left navigation menu. By default, Telnet is enabled. Enabling SSH automatically disables Telnet.

Telnet for basic access. Telnet provides the basic security of authentication by user name and password, but not the high-security benefits of encryption. To use Telnet to access the command line interface of the Network Management Card from any computer on the same subnet:

1.At a command prompt, use the following command line, and press

ENTER:

telnet address

As address, use the Network Management Card’s IP address (or DNS name, if configured).

2.Enter the user name and password (by default, apc and apc for an Administrator, or device and apc for a Device User).

SSH for high-security access. If you use the high security of SSL for the Web interface, use Secure SHell (SSH) for access to the command line interface. SSH encrypts user names, passwords, and transmitted data.

The interface, user accounts, and user access rights are the same whether you access the command line interface through SSH or Telnet, but to use SSH, you must first configure SSH and have an SSH client program installed on your computer.

See the User’s Guide for more information on configuring and using SSH.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

SNMPv1 only. After you add the PowerNet® MIB to a standard SNMP MIB browser, you can use that browser to access the Network Management Card. All user names, passwords, and community names for SNMP are transferred over the network as plain text. The default read community name is public; the default read/write community name is private.
