5.FAILOVER AND OUT-OF-BAND ACCESS

Introduction

The Console Server has a number of failover and out-of-band access capabilities to ensure availability in the event there are difficulties in accessing the Console Server through the principal network path. This chapter covers:

Out-of-band (OoB) access from a remote location using dial-up modem

Out-dial failover

OoB access using an alternate broadband link (B096-048/016 models only)

Broadband failover

5.1OoB Dial-In Access

To enable OoB dial-in access, first set up the Console Server configuration for dial-in PPP access. Once the Console Server is so configured, it will wait for an incoming connection from a dial-in at a remote site.

Then remote Administrator’s must be configured to dial-in and must establish a network connection to the Console Server.

Note The B096-048/016 Console Servers have an internal modem for dial-up OoB access. The B092- 016 Console Servers need an external modem to be attached via a serial cable to their DB9 port.
