IBM 201 manual Telnet Server support, SNMP support

While you can perform most administrative tasks using Windows 2000 for NAS, there are some advanced tasks for which you must use Terminal Services Client. See “Terminal Services and the IBM NAS Administration Console” on page 8 for more information.

You can start Windows 2000 for NAS in one of three ways:

1.Through UM Services, as described in step 3 on page 16.

2.From a Web browser, by entering http://ip_address:8099 or http://computer_name:8099 and then logging on to the NAS 200.

3.From the NAS 200 desktop while using Terminal Services Client and starting a browser.

Telnet Server support

CAUTION:

When you Telnet to another machine, your user name and password are sent over the network in plain, unencrypted, text.

The NAS 200 includes Telnet server capability. The Telnet server provides limited administrative capability for the NAS 200. This may be useful in cases where you need to remotely administer the NAS 200, but do not have access to a Windows-based workstation (from which you could remotely administer the appliance via a supported Web browser or Terminal Services Client).

You can access the NAS 200 from any Telnet client by specifying the IP address or hostname of the NAS 200, then logging in using an ID and password (defined on the NAS 200) with administrative authority. Once you have logged in, you will be presented with a command-line interface similar to that of a DOS command prompt in Windows (in fact, it will start at the C:\ prompt). From this interface, you can issue DOS-like commands (such as dir and cd), and some UNIX-like commands (such as grep and vi). You can launch some applications, but only character-mode applications are supported.

By default, the Telnet server is disabled. To enable the Telnet server, from the Windows 2000 for NAS user interface, go to the Network task group, then select Telnet. On the Telnet Administration Configuration page that appears, put a check in the Enable Telnet access to this appliance check box. Later, if you wish to disable Telnet access, you can uncheck Enable Telnet access to this appliance. If you do not require Telnet access to the NAS 200, then it is recommended that you leave the Telnet server disabled.

SNMP support

Support for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is enabled. In order to manage the NAS 200 from your SNMP-capable management application, you will need to install the Management Information Base (MIB) files for various components of the NAS 200 on the management application workstation, so that the application can recognize those SNMP elements (values, alerts, etc.) supported by the components. Go to www.storage.ibm.com/nas for information on MIB files that are supported by the NAS 200.
