Cyclades AlterPath BladeManager user manual Exhaustive Reporting, Multiport Ethernet Cards

1: Introduction

Exhaustive Reporting

Because the BladeManager consolidates all its logs and maintains its own databases, it provides in-depth reporting capabilities to suit the reporting needs of users and managers.

Multiport Ethernet Cards

The BladeManager supports up to two multiport PCI ethernet cards for secure networks that use multiple network segments. This enables the BladeManager to physically separate devices and connect to multiple network segments.

The Ethernet cards are detected by the configuration wizard during boot time.

Command Line Interface (CLI)

For emergency access situations, the BladeManager can provide you with a command line interface by making a regular Secure Shell connection to the BladeManager.

CLI is one of two user interfaces (the other is the web interface) available to BladeManager users. The CLI is also used for First Time Configuration and system recovery procedures.
