    Configuring Serial Port Settings You may configure a CCM port to support one of two types of target devices (TDs): SPC or console. For more information about SPC power control devices, see the SPC Installer/User Guide. A console TD may be a serial-managed Linux (or other Unix) server, router, firewall or other supported serial device.

    Configuring and using dial-in connections You may attach an external modem to the console port for dial-in serial CLI access to the CCM appliance. This may be used as a backup connection if the appliance is not accessible from the network.

  • Page 34: Using Ssh

    CCM Installer/User Guide PPP dial-in may be used to access a remote CCM appliance that does not warrant a WAN (Wide Area Network) link to the Ethernet interface. The PPP dial-in may also be used to access a subnet containing remote devices in the event of a WAN link failure. In this case, the PPP provides an alternate path to one or more remote devices.
  • Page 35 In most cases, the SSH server key should not be modified because most SSH clients will associate the key with the IP address of the CCM appliance. During the first connection to a new SSH server, the client will display the SSH server’s key. You will be prompted to indicate if it should be stored on the SSH client.

You may specify a time-out value with the Server CLI command. You may also specify a time-out value for each port with the Port Set command. When no data is received from the connected user for the configured number of minutes, the connection is terminated.

  • Page 42: Access Rights And Levels

    For more information, see Show User command on page 83. Access rights and levels Most CCM appliance commands require the user to have the appropriate permission to issue CCM appliance commands. Permissions are expressed as access rights or access levels. The access rights/levels for each command are listed in Table 4.4 on page 47.

If the username and password are successfully validated on the RADIUS server, the RADIUS server returns an attribute that indicates the access rights defined for that username.

  • Page 45: Authentication Summary

    Break access. Connections to the Telnet port (23), serial CLI and PPP are still authenticated using the local CCM user database, even when authentication is expressly disabled. Generally, these communications paths are used only by administrators, and authentication is enforced in order to establish appropriate access rights.

  • Page 46: Using Security Lock-Out

    A locked account will remain locked until the specified time elapses, the CCM appliance is power- cycled or the account is unlocked by an administrator with the User Unlock command. A user with the ADMIN access level may unlock all users except a user with the APPLIANCEADMIN level.

  • Page 47: Managing Port History

    Managing Port History Each CCM appliance serial port has a circular history buffer that contains the latest 64K bytes of data received from the attached serial device. You may enable the NFS feature, which will write buffered data to a file on an NFS server. Port history information may be useful for auditing and troubleshooting.
  • Page 48 CCM Installer/User Guide Table 3.6: Port History Mode Commands (Continued) Command Description S searches the port history buffer for a specified text string. Search strings with embedded spaces must be enclosed in quotes. By default, the search is case sensitive. To ignore case, enter direction, type down from the current line toward the bottom of the buffer.

  • Page 49: Nfs History Files

    When the NFS feature is enabled on the CCM appliance and on a port, port history data is written to a file on an NFS server, in addition to the local history buffer on the CCM appliance. Each serial port has its own file(s) on the NFS server where data is written. The NFS server must support NFSv3 (RFC1813).

  • Page 50: Nfs Filenames

    Enabling NFS on the CCM appliance ports After NFS is successfully enabled on the CCM appliance, you may enable and configure NFS on the individual ports. If an error occurs, it may include a numeric value and a text message. See NFS Error Codes and Port Status on page 105 for descriptions.
  • Page 51 However, if you choose to specify a filename rather than use the defaults, it must meet the following criteria: • The filename must be different from the filename specified for any other port on the CCM appliance. Using the port number substitution string (%#) in the filename specification is one way to accomplish this.
  • Page 52 CCM Installer/User Guide If you specify a nondefault filename, and later attempt to change the file type from linear to daily, the request will be rejected if the filename specification does not include a date substitution string. When writes will occur When you enable NFS on a port, you may configure a buffer size and a time interval, which will be used to determine when accumulated data is written to the NFS server file.
