Black Box LES1432A, LES1332A, LES1408A, LES144BA Add/ Edit Users, Cisco USB console connection

For example, if the computer attached to serial port 3 should never send anything out on its serial console port, the Administrator can set the Facility for that port to local0 (local0 .. local7 are for site local values), and the Priority to critical. At this priority, if the console server syslog server does receive a message, it will automatically raise an alert. Refer to Chapter 7—Alerts & Logging.

4.1.8Cisco USB console connection

The LES1508A, LES1408A, LES1416A, LES1432A, LES1448A, LES1308A, LES1316A, LES1332A, LES1348A, LES1208A-R2, LES1216A-R2, LES1232A and LES1248A-R2 console servers support direct USB2.0 connection to one or two Cisco USB console ports (in addition to the traditional RS-232 serial console port connections).

With such a USB console connection users can send IOS commands through the USB console port remotely (using a browser and the console server’s built-in AJAX terminal) or monitor messages from the Cisco USB console ports and take rule book actions (using the console server’s built-in Auto-Response capabilities).

For configuration and control these USB consoles are presented as new “serial ports” on the Serial & Network: Serial Port menu. So for an LES1508A any Cisco USB console ports would present as Port 9 and 10.

Common Settings, such baud rate, are ignored when configuring the Cisco USB “serial port”. However you can apply all the Console Server Mode, Syslog and Serial Bridging settings to this port.

Note: The Cisco USB console is auto detected and the new “serial port” numbers are created. However it must be manually configured on initial connection. Any subsequent USB console disconnection is auto-detected. USB console re-connection on the same physical USB port will also be auto- detected, but only if the console server has been power cycled.

4.2Add/ Edit Users

The Administrator uses this menu selection to set up, edit, and delete users, and to define the access permissions for each of these users.
