Trusted Networks; Cascaded Ports - Tripp Lite B092-016 Owner's Manual

Chapter 14: Command Line Configuration
Assuming we already have one managed device, our new device will be device 2. Issue the following commands:
# config -s config. devices.device2.connections.connection1.name=192.168.3.10
# config -s config. devices.device2.connections.connection1.type=Host
# config -s config. devices.device2.name=OfficePC
# config -s config. devices.device2.description=MyPC
# config -s config.devices.total=2
The following command will synchronize the live system with the new configuration:
# config -hosts

14.1.6 Trusted Networks

You can further restrict remote access to serial ports based on the source IP address. To configure this via the command line
you need to do the following:
Determine the total number of existing trusted network rules (if you have no existing rules) you can assume this is 0
# config -g config.portaccess.total
This command should display config.portaccess.total 1
Note that if you see config.portaccess.total this means you have 0 rules configured.
Your new rule will be the existing total plus 1. So if the previous command gave you 0 then you start with rule number 1. If you
already have 1 rule your new rule will be number 2 etc.
If you want to restrict access to serial port 5 to computers from a single class C network (192.168.5.0 say) you need to issue
the following commands (assuming you have a previous rule in place).
Add a trusted network:
# config -s config.portaccess.rule2.address=192.168.5.0
# config -s "config.portaccess.rule2.description=foo bar"
# config -s config.portaccess.rule2.netmask=255.255.255.0
# config -s config.portaccess.rule2.port5=on
# config -s config.portaccess.total=2
The following command will synchronize the live system with the new configuration:
# config -r serialconfig

14.1.7 Cascaded Ports

To add a new slave device with the following settings:
IP address/DNS name
Description
Label
Number of ports
The following commands must be issued:
# config -s config.cascade.slaves.slave1.address=192.168.0.153
# config -s "config.cascade.slaves.slave1.description=CM in office 42"
# config -s config.cascade.slaves.slave1.label=BL6-5
# config -s config.cascade.slaves.slave1.ports=16
The total number of slaves must also be incremented. If this is the first slave being added, type:
# config -s config.cascade.slaves.total=1
Increment this value when adding more slaves.
NOTE: If a slave is added using the CLI, then the master SSH public key will need to be manually copied to every slave device
before cascaded ports will work (refer Chapter 4)
The following command will synchronize the live system with the new configuration:
# config -r cascade
192.168.0.153
CM in office 42
BL6-5
16
