Remote Management

This chapter shows you how to manage the IES-1000 remotely.

34.1Remote Management Introduction

More often than not, you will have the IES-1000 located remotely making its remote management features very useful. See the web configurator chapter on SNMP for background information on SNMP.

34.2Management by Telnet

After you have set up the IP parameters and connected the IES-1000 to the network, you can manage it remotely with telnet. You can use any telnet client that you find convenient. The configuration procedures with telnet are exactly the same as those using the direct connection via the console port. The default password for a telnet session is “1234”. Although telnet will work while the console port is being used, only one telnet session is allowed at a time.

34.3SNMP Access Configuration

To control access to the agent in the network module, use the access commands in the SNMP subsystem. Note that “community” is SNMP’s terminology for password. After configuring the SNMP access parameters, save the configuration to the nonvolatile memory with the config save command. The default write community string is “1234”, and the default read community string is “public”.

34.3.1SNMP Access Read/Write Command

Syntax:

access <read write> <community> [<IP addr>]

where

<read write> =

<community>

=

[<IP addr>]

=

Specifies read-only/read-write permission.

The password needed to access the SNMP agent on the network module. The optional IP address of the allowed SNMP manager.

This command allows read-only or read-write access. If the IP address is specified, access is allowed for the manager station with that address only.
