The fields under the Basic tab are as follows:
Device IP Address The Device IP Address that EPICenter uses to access the switch.
You may also enter a DNS-resolvable host name in place of the Switch IP
address.
Device Login The Device Login that EPICenter should use to access the switch.
SSH If EPICenter is going to use SSH2 for secure Telnet sessions, select SSH
Enabled . SSH2 must be configured on the device in order for an SSH2 session
to be established between EPICenter and the device.
If SSH is not available (SSH enabling key not installed) this field is not
selectable.
Device Manager Protocol The protocol used to communicate with this device when using the device-based
element manager (ExtremeWare Vista): HTTP or HTTPS. SSH must be enabled
on the device.
Device Poll Interval (minutes) The Device Poll Interval that controls how frequently EPICenter polls the device
for detail status information. (Basic device status information is polled more
frequently, and that interval is set as a server property in the Administration
applet.)
The default setting for the device poll interval is 30 minutes for an Extreme
modular chassis and 90 minutes for an Extreme stackable chassis.
Device Contact Password The Device Contact Password that EPICenter should use to access the switch.
