Completing Configuration Using the Web
Manager
The “admin” user can administer the KVM/net and its connected devices
through the Web Manager without doing any additional configuration.
The following list shows other common configuration tasks:
•
Enable direct login to ports from the Web Manager login screen
•
Set up local or remote data buffering (to save console input to a log file)
and specify alarms
•
Set up logging of system messages to a syslog server
•
Configure power management for the AUX port if the port is connected to
an optional AlterPath PM
•
Choose among authentication methods and specify authentication servers
•
Specify optional encryption levels
•
Configure rules for a firewall
•
Configure a time and date (NTP) server or set the time and date manually
See “Web Manager for Administrators” on page 133 for procedures for
performing the common KVM/net administration tasks listed in this section.
Following is a brief list of ways the admin can assign tasks to other users:
•
Let other users manage servers or PMs without being able to make changes
to the KVM/net configuration
•
Assign users or groups to specific ports, restricting users to a limited set of
devices
•
Let other users share all administration of the KVM/net
