Serial Port
Attribute
Description
Multiple
Parameters
With the serial port parameters you can configure the console port on the
back panel of the appliance.
You can disable it completely (clear the
Enable serial port
checkbox) if
necessary and configure
port speed
and
flow control
settings. Note that
these settings must match the configuration of the device connected to the
console port.
There are three modes for working with this port:
n
Console
- This is the default mode configured. The port is used to
access the appliance's console.
n
Active
- Instead of connecting through the port to the appliance's
console, the data is relayed to a specified telnet server which can now
be viewed through this port. Enter the
Server TCP port
of the telnet
server and the IP address of the server. Two different IP server IP
addresses can be configured (
Primary server
and
Secondary
server
).
n
Passive
- In this mode the flow of data is reversed and the appliance
connects through the serial port to the console of the connected
device. This console is accessible through a telnet connection to a
configured port on the appliance. In
Listen on TCP port
, enter the
port number.
To configure an implicit rule that allows traffic from any source to this port,
make sure
Implicitly allow traffic to this port
is selected. If you do not create
an implicit rule, you must manually define an access rule in the Firewall Rule
Base.
Two appliances, one in active mode and the other in passive mode, can
allow a client to remotely connect to a console connected to the appliance in
passive mode over the internet using a telnet connection.
