Introduction

• Make an inquiry to the DHCP server on the subnet that the CS resides,
using the MAC address (The MAC address is labeled at the bottom of
the CS).
• Connect to CS remotely using Telnet or SSH and use the
ifconfig
command.
• Connect directly to the CS and use the
ifconfig
command through
a terminal emulator application.
• A user account must be defined on the Web Manager.
By default, the “admin” has an account on the Web Manager. An
administrator can add regular user accounts to grant access to the
connected servers or devices using the Web Manager.
Types of Users
CS supports the following user account types:
• The “root” user who can manage the CS and its connected devices. The
“root” user performs the initial network configuration. Access privileges
are full read/write and management.
Note:
It is strongly recommended to change the default password “ bb ” before
setting up the CS for secure access to the connected servers or devices.
• Users who can be part of an “Admin” group with administrative
privileges. This may be a regular user who can perform the same tasks as
an administrator.
• Regular users who can access the connected devices through the serial
ports they are authorized for. Regular users have limited access to the Web
Manager features.
Security
The Advanced Console Server includes a set of security profiles that consists
of predefined parameters to control access to CS and its serial ports. This
feature provides more control over the services that are active at any one time.
As an additional security measure, all serial ports are disabled by default,
which allows the administrator to enable and assign individual ports to users.
See “Security Profiles” on page 226 for detailed information and procedures.
