SECURE CONSOLE SERVERS Security

7 System Administration

This section outlines the administration functions and commands,

accessed using your Network or the Console port.

7.1 Security

The Logical Solutions Secure Console Servers use ssh to provide encryption for a secure network connection. There is only one level of system administration access in the SCS, and that is at the root level.

Caution

Anyone with the root password has the ability to access all SCS fea- tures and functions. Your root password should be carefully guarded.

Users do not have the ability to interact with the system-level features. Users that are granted permission to interact with a Port can access the Buffers and may also clear the buffered data.

7.2 Change Network Address

You may use the Front Panel setup (see Section 4.4, Front Panel Network Setup, begin- ning on page 33) to configure the SCS’s IP address. This will temporarily change the IP address to allow you to connect to the SCS. Front panel changes are temporary in that there is no way to write the new parameters to non-volatile memory using just the front panel keys.

You must run netconfig once you have accessed the SCS to change all of the network parameter options, and then save the parameters to non-volatile memory.
