Other Console Main Menu Options
Besides the Network Configuration option, the Console Main menu of the DSR switch features the following menu items: Security Configuration, Firmware Management, Enable Debug Messages, Restore Factory Defaults, Reset Appliance and Exit. Each menu item is discussed in this section.
Security Configuration
The Security Configuration menu contains the following options:
•Console Password: Enable or disable using security for the console (access requires an Admin account).
•Unbind from DSView 3 Server: Reset the certificate used by the DSView 3 software system.
Console Password
If this is enabled, access to the switch’s Console Main menu will require an appliance administrator to log in.
Unbind from DSView 3 Server
This option enables you to clear the certificate sent by the DSView 3 software to the DSR switch.
When a DSR switch is added to a server running DSView 3 software, a certificate is downloaded from that server to the DSR switch automatically. If its system replicates certificates, it will pass the certificate to the servers in that certificate replication system. All servers in that system will then be allowed to access the DSR switch. All servers that are not part of that system will be locked out.
