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
14.7 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
for example), 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
14.8 Cascaded Ports
To add a new slave device with the following settings:
IP address/DNS name
192.168.0.153
Description
Console in office 42
Label
les1116-‐5
Number of ports
16
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=les1116-‐5
# config -‐s config.cascade.slaves.slave1.ports=16
The total number of slaves must also be incremented. If this is the first slave you’re adding, type:
