Use This Menu to:
Configure the network parameters such as Host Name, IP addresses,
DNS services, Gateway and Bonding.
Configure how the console server will handle its syslog messages. The
console server generates syslog messages related to users
connecting to ports, login failures and other information that can be
used for audit and control purposes.
Configure the optional PCMCIA cards. The console server supports
several PCMCIA cards including modem, ISDN, GSM, CDMA, wireless
LAN, Ethernet LAN, CompactFlash and IDE drives for data buffer
storage. For the list of supported cards point your browser to and follow
the links to Products - Cyclades ACS Advanced Console Servers - PC
Cards List.
Configure one or more VPN connections to other systems or console
server attached devices.
Configure SNMP with community names, OID and user names. This
section and the dialog boxes guide you to configure the
required parameters.
Configure static IP tables and how packets should be filtered.
View information about the local network environment. View table of
hosts; create, edit and delete hosts.
Manually add routes. Static routes are a very quick and effective way to
route data from one subnet to different subnets.
