and other computers that have IPSec installed. ESP and AH authentication protocols, RSA

Public Keys and Shared Secret aresupported. For more information, see IPSec(VPN) on page 34.

Packet filtering

An administrator can configure a console server to filter packets like a firewall. Packet filtering

is controlled by chains, which are named profiles with user-defined rules. The console server

filter table contains a number of built-in chains that can be modified but not deleted. An

administrator can also create and configure new chains.

SNMP

If SNMP is enabled in the selected security profile, an administrator can configure the Simple

Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent on the console server to answer requests sent by

an SNMP management application.

The console server SNMP agent supports SNMP v1/v2 and v3, MIB-II and Enterprise MIB. For

more information, see SNMP Configuration on page 35.

NOTE: The text files with the Enterprise MIB (ACS6000-MIB.asn) and the TRAP MIB (ACS6000-TRAP-MIB.asn)

are available in the appliance under the /usr/local/mibs directory.

Data logging, notifications, alarms and data buffering

An administrator can set up data logging, notifications and alarms to alert administrators of

problems with email, SMS, SNMP trap or DSView 3 software notifications. An administrator

can also store buffered data locally, remotely or with DSView 3 management software.

Messages about the console server and connected servers or devices can also be sent to syslog

servers.

Power management

The console server enables users who are authorized for power management to turn power on,

turn power off and reset devices plugged into a connected power distribution unit (PDU). The

power devices can be connected to any serial port or to the AUX/Modem port (if an internal

modem is not installed). For more information, see Power Management on page 65

Auto discovery

An administrator can enable auto discovery to find the hostname of a target connected to a

serial port. Auto discovery’s default probe and answer strings have a broad range. An

administrator can configure site-specific probe and answer strings. Auto discovery can also be

configured through the DSView 3 software.
