The Services Access settings specify which services the Administrator can use over which network interface to access the console server. It also nominates the enabled services that the Administrator and the User can use to connect through the console server to attached serial and network connected devices.

The following general service access options can be specified:

HTTPS This ensures secure browser access to all the Management Console menus. It also allows appropriately configured Users secure browser access to selected Management Console Manage menus. If you enable HTTPS, the Administrator will be able to use a secure browser connection to the Console server’s Management Console. For information on certificate and user client software configuration, refer to Chapter 9—Authentication. By default, HTTPS is enabled, and we recommend that that you only use HTTPS access if the console server will be managed over any public network (for example, the Internet).

HTTP By default HTTP is disabled. We recommend that the HTTP service remain disabled if the console server will be remotely accessed over the Internet.

Telnet This gives the Administrator Telnet access to the system command line shell (Linux commands). This may be suitable for a local direct connection over a management LAN. By default, Telnet is disabled. We recommend that this service remain disabled if you will remotely administer the console server.

SSH This service provides secure SSH access to the Linux command line shell. We recommend that you choose SSH as the protocol where the Administrator connects to the console server over the Internet or any other public network. This will provide authenticated communications between the SSH client program on the remote PC/workstation and the SSH server in the console server. By default SSH is enabled. For more information on SSH configuration refer Chapter 9—Authentication.

You can configure related service options at this stage:

SNMP This will enable netsnmp in the console server, which will keep a remote log of all posted information. SNMP is disabled by default. This SNMP service is only available
