SSH Keys, Polling | Perle Systems 5500320-12 manual

Configure Device Settings

Operator	Use operator login depending on the privilege level that the users has on the
Credentials	target device. These credentials are used to log into the device. (example
	Direct management of the device using Telnet).
	Configure up to 10 Operator user names and passwords that PerleVIEW will
	validate against the device until a valid pair is found.

SSH Keys

As each device is discovered, the credentials listed will be tried on it until one set is found to work. This set will be saved as the working credentials for that device.

Administrator/

Operator

Private Key

The target device must have SSH keys enabled in order to use SSH Keys. You would then be logged into the device using a SSH private/public key pair. PerleVIEW will SSH to each device using each of the configured SSH user and associated private key until a valid match is found. The device must have the correct SSH public key configured for successful authentication.

Polling

Polling parameters allow you to customize how often a device or hardware within PerleVIEW’s database will be polled for status, health or reachability.

Device	The device polling task will run immediately with the startup of PerleVIEW.
reachability	You can set how often PerleVIEW will attempt to communicate to the
	device to see if the device is still reachable.
Hardware health	Sets how often PerleVIEW checks for any outstanding alarm conditions on
	each device. See Health Status Panel for more information.
Media converter	Sets how often PerleVIEW checks the Media converter port link status for
port link status	each hardware port. The media converter link port status results (up or
	down) can be viewed under Group Views -> Hardware -> Ports.
Rediscover	Set the time to run a Rediscover devices task on all devices and hardware.
devices	The re-discovery task will go through all existing devices in the database and
	attempt to re-validate credentials, collect hardware health, reachability and
	link statuses. This task will not discover new devices. To discover new
	devices run a Device Discovery task instance.
