Access Control
The system administrator controls access to attached servers or devices by assigning access
rights to up to 128 user profiles. Each user has an assigned ID, password, and access rights.
Other user profile access options may include externally configured authentication methods such
as RADIUS, TACACS+, NIS, and LDAP. Groups are supported in LDAP, RADIUS (via VSA), and
TACACS+ (using priv_lvl).
Power Outlet Control
With the SLB unit's built-in power management capability, system administrators can remotely
control the power (on/off/reboot) individually to all IT equipment in the branch office, ensure safe
power distribution, and reduce "in-rush" current overload. If SNMP traps are enabled, a trap
(alarm) is sent if the total current for all outlets exceeds a threshold.
Device Port Buffer
The SLB branch office manager supports real-time data logging for each device port. The port can
save the data log to a file, send an email notification of an issue, or take no action.
You can define the path for logged data on a port-by-port basis, configure file size and number of
files per port for each logging event, and configure the device log to send an email alert message
automatically to the appropriate parties indicating a particular error.
Configuration Options
You may use the backlit front-panel LCD display for initial setup and configuration and to view
current network, console, and date/time settings, and get power outlet status.
Both a web interface viewed through a standard browser and a command line interface (CLI) are
available for configuring the SLB settings and monitoring performance.
