OUTLET MANAGED PDU

•HTTPS Port: Selects the TCP/IP port number that will be used for HTTPS connections. (Default = 443.)

Notes:

•In the Text Interface, HTTP and HTTPS parameters reside in a separate submenu. To enable and configure HTTP and HTTPS Access via the Text Interface, access the Network Configuration Menu as described in Section 5.9, then type 23, press [Enter] and use the resulting submenu to select parameters.

•When the Web Access parameter is accessed via the Text Interface, the resulting submenu will also allow you to select SSL (encryption) parameters as described in Section 14.

•Harden Web Security: When the Harden Web Security feature is On (default,) only the high and medium cypher suites for SSLv3 and TLSv1 will be enabled. When the Harden Web Security feature is Off, all SSL protocols will be enabled, allowing compatibility with older browsers. Note that in the Text Interface, the Harden Web Security option is found in the Web Access submenu. (Default = On.)

•SYSLOG Address: The IP Address or domain name (up to 64 characters) for the Syslog Daemon that will receive log records generated by the Outlet Managed PDU. For more information, please refer to Section 11.

(Default = undefined.)

•Ping Access: Enables/Disables response to the ping command. When Disabled, the Outlet Managed PDU will not respond to Ping commands. Note that disabling Ping Access at the Network Port will not effect the Ping-No- Access Alarm. (Default = On.)

5.9.3.IP Security

The IP Security feature allows the Outlet Managed PDU to restrict unauthorized IP addresses from establishing inbound connections to the unit via telnet or Web Browser. This allows you to grant access to only a specific group of Telnet or Web IP addresses, or block a particular IP address completely. In the default state, the Outlet Managed PDU accepts incoming IP connections from all hosts.

In the Text Interface, IP Security parameters are defined via the Network Configuration menu. In the Web Browser Interface, these parameters are found by placing the cursor over the "Network Configuration" link, and then clicking on the "IP Security" link in the resulting fly-out menu. In the default state, IP Security is disabled. The IP Security Function employs a TCP Wrapper program which allows the use of standard, Linux operators, wild cards and net/mask pairs to create a host based access control list.
