Completing Configuration Using the Web Manager

Completing Configuration Using the Web Manager

The “admin” user can administer the KVM/net and its connected devices through the Web Manager without doing any additional configuration.

The following list shows other common configuration tasks:

•Enable direct login to ports from the Web Manager login screen

•Set up local or remote data buffering (to save console input to a log file) and specify alarms

•Set up logging of system messages to a syslog server

•Configure power management for the AUX port if the port is connected to an optional AlterPath PM

•Choose among authentication methods and specify authentication servers

•Specify optional encryption levels

•Configure rules for a firewall

•Configure a time and date (NTP) server or set the time and date manually

See “Web Manager for Administrators” on page 133 for procedures for performing the common KVM/net administration tasks listed in this section.

Following is a brief list of ways the admin can assign tasks to other users:

•Let other users manage servers or PMs without being able to make changes to the KVM/net configuration

•Assign users or groups to specific ports, restricting users to a limited set of devices

•Let other users share all administration of the KVM/net
