Parameter

Description

 

 

 

both - (the default) firstly with the unit’s own user table. If

 

the username is found in unit but the password is incorrect,

 

an authentication request is sent to the RADIUS host. If the

 

username is not found in the unit, authentication is passed up

 

to the RADIUS host. (The exception is the ‘admin’ user; if

 

you supply an incorrect password, the unit will not go to the

 

RADIUS host; it will fail the authentication).

 

When the unit uses the RADIUS host, it will try firstly the

 

primary RADIUS host and then - if one is specified - the

 

secondary RADIUS host; (see RADIUS configuration on

 

page 51).

 

local - with the unit’s user table (only)

 

RADIUS - with the RADIUS host’s user table (only); does

 

not apply to username ‘admin’ who is always authenticated

 

locally.

DHCP

You can use the auto configuration method for configuring

 

the Console Server from a DHCP server. You must turn on

 

this feature by selecting 'on' and disable this feature by

 

selecting 'off'. Default is 'off' or DHCP is disabled.

SSH protocol

In order to provide a secure connection from the LAN to a

 

device on the Console Server, you must enable the

 

appropriate SSH protocol version. By default, ssh protocol is

 

'disabled'. To support SSH version 1, select 'ssh-1'. To

 

support SSH version 2 only, select 'ssh-2'. To enable both

 

version of ssh support, select 'both (ssh-1+ssh-2)'. If you are

 

configuring ssh for the first time, you will be prompted to

 

generate the appropriate encryption keys used for negotiating

 

a secure connection. This key generation process could take

 

several minutes. Once generated, the Console Server will

 

then support the ssh protocol selected.
