Connect the Console Server
Set NET2 Port's Network Configuration Method
NET2 is inactive by default. NET2 can be set up for failover/OOB access or as a management LAN gateway. To activate:
1. Click System > IP.
2. Click Management LAN Interface to make it the front-most tab.
3. Click the Deactivate this network interface checkbox to de-select this option and activate NET2.
4. For Configuration Method, click either the DHCP or Static radio button.
5. If Static, enter an IP Address and Subnet Mask for the NET2 interface (leaving Gateway and DNS fields blank).
Out-of-Band (OOB) – set these for your management network.
IP Passthrough – set these to match an unused private IP range.
Note: The console server's firewall determines which protocols and services can be used to access which ports and devices. HTTPS and SSH are enabled
to the console server by default. To change access settings for the console server and connected serial ports, click System > Services. Then click the
Service Access tab and adjust accordingly.
Alternatively, NET2 can be used as a redundant connection, sharing the same network settings as NET1.
1. Click System > IP.
2. Click General Settings to make it the front-most tab.
3. For Interface Aggregation, choose between Bridge interfaces or Bond interfaces.
4. Click Apply.
Configuring Managed Devices
1. Click Serial & Network > Serial Port.
Note: By default, all serial ports are set in Console Server mode.
To configure a port:
2. Click Edit.
3. Set the Common Settings (Baud Rate, Parity, Data Bits, Stop Bits and Flow Control) for Port X to match the device connected to serial
Port X.
4. To enable remote access to the device, check the Console Server Mode radio button in Console Server Settings and click the
checkboxes for allowed protocols (e.g. Telnet, SSH and Web Terminal).
5. Click Apply.
Note: Configure user access policies for connecting to such ports in Serial & Network > Users & Groups. An AAA server can configure them remotely. See
the Owner's Manual for more information.
