14. BASIC CONFIGURATION - LINUX COMMANDS

Introduction

For those who prefer to configure their Console Server at the Linux command line level (rather than use a browser and the Management Console), this chapter describes how to get command line access and use the config tool to manage the system and configure the ports, etc. from the command line:

Administration Configuration (System Settings and Authentication Configuration)

Date and Time Configuration (Manually Change Clock Settings and Network Time Protocol Time Zone)

Network Configuration (Static and DHCP IP Configuration, Dial-in Configuration and Services Configuration)

Serial Port Configuration (Serial Port Settings, Supported Protocol Configuration, Users and Trusted Networks)

Event Logging Configuration (Remote Serial Port Log Storage and Alert

Configuration)

The config documentation in this chapter walks through the basic configuration (similar to what can be done with the Management Console). For advanced and custom configurations using other standard commands, refer to the next chapter, Advanced Configuration.

Since the Console Server runs a standard Linux kernel, it is also possible to configure it using other standard Linux and Busybox commands and applications as described in the last section of this chapter. However, doing this will not always guarantee these changes are permanent.

This chapter is not intended to teach you Linux. We assume you already have a certain level of understanding before you execute Linux kernel-level commands.
