CHAPTER

5DSView 3 Servers

Table 5.1: Server Properties

Property Description

Identity Name of the DSView 3 server and the server’s role (hub or spoke).

Network

IP address (*) and port used by clients to access the server using the HTTPS (SSL)

protocol. You may change the port number used for the HTTPS connection.

NOTE: When the DSView 3 server is running on a Linux system, the IP address field may

contain the loopback address. If this is not desired, edit the /etc/hosts file on the Linux

system. Add a new line above the line that defines the loopback address. The new line

should contain the IP address, followed by the host name. For example, the following new

line adds the IP address 172.30.20.206 for the host name sun-jcv-fc3.avocent.com, above

the existing line that defines the loopback address (127.0.0.1).

172.30.20.206 sun-jcv-fc3.avocent.com

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain sun-jcv-fc3.avocent.com localhost sun-jcv-fc3

Certificate DSView 3 server certificate presented to DSView 3 software client web browsers.

Proxy Server

When the Avocent proxy server is used, DSView 3 software client KVM and serial session

requests are sent through the DSView 3 server rather than directly to the KVM switch or

serial console appliance, which prevents the exposure of the internal address of the

managed appliance. You may change the proxy server configuration.

NOTE: EVR1500 environmental monitor, DSI5100 IPMI and generic appliance sessions

are not sent through the DSView 3 server, even when the proxy isenabled.

SSH Server Enables/disables the SSH server and specifies the port it uses.
