Lantronix 900-510 Protocols Supported, Access Control, Power Outlet Control, Device Port Buffer

2: Overview

Protocols Supported

The SLB branch office manager supports the TCP/IP network protocol as well as:

SSH, Telnet, PPP, NFS, and CIFS for connections in and out of the SLB device

SMTP for mail transfer

DNS for text-to-IP address name resolution

SNMP for remote monitoring and management

FTP and SFTP for file transfers and firmware upgrades

TFTP and HTTPS for firmware upgrades

DHCP and BOOTP for IP address assignment

HTTPS (SSL) for secure browser-based configuration

NTP for time synchronization

LDAP, NIS, RADIUS, CHAP, PAP, Kerberos, and TACACS+ for user authentication

For brief descriptions of these protocols, see Appendix Protocol Glossary.

Access Control

The system administrator controls access to attached servers or devices by assigning access rights to up to 128 user profiles. Each user has an assigned ID, password, and access rights. Other user profile access options may include externally configured authentication methods such as RADIUS, TACACS+, NIS, and LDAP.

Power Outlet Control

With the SLB branch office manager’s built-in power management capability, system administrators can remotely control the power (on/off/reboot) individually to all IT equipment in the branch office, ensure safe power distribution, and reduce “in-rush” current overload. If SNMP traps are enabled, a trap (alarm) is sent if the total current for all outlets exceeds a threshold.

Device Port Buffer

The SLB device supports real-time data logging for each device port. The port can save the data log to a file, send an email notification of an issue, or take no action.

You can define the path for logged data on a port-by-port basis, configure file size and number of files per port for each logging event, and configure the device log to send an email alert message automatically to the appropriate parties indicating a particular error.

Configuration Options

You may use the backlit front-panel LCD display for initial setup and configuration and to view current network, console, and date/time settings, and get power outlet status.

Both a web interface viewed through a standard browser and a command line interface (CLI) are available for configuring the SLB settings and monitoring performance.
