Note: You can use the CLI reboot command to reboot the X family device if you modify settings for which a reboot is required.

SSH Server

The SSH Server enables encrypted terminal communications. The SSH server must be enabled to establish a secure CLI session over your network.

HTTPS Server

The HTTPS web server enables encrypted file transfers over the network. The HTTPS server must be enabled to use SMS management. You can also run the LSM using the HTTPS server.

HTTP Server

You can enable the HTTP server to run non-secure LSM sessions on your network.

CAUTION: HTTP is not a secure service. If you enable HTTP, you endanger the security of the X family device. Use HTTPS instead of HTTP for normal operations.

SNMP Server

The SNMP Server provides access to interface counters and other statistics, configuration data, and general system information via the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The SNMP server must be enabled to use SMS management or to allow NMS access.

Example

The Server Options dialog follows:

Server options allow you to enable or disable each of the following servers: SSH, , HTTPS, HTTP, and SNMP.

Would you like to modify the server options? <Y, [N]>: y

Enable the SSH server? [Yes]:y

Enable the HTTPS server ('No' disables SMS access)? [Yes]:y Enable the HTTP server? [No]:n
