Selecting
Serial & Network: Network Hosts
presents all the network connected Hosts that have
been enabled for access, and the related access TCP ports/services.
Click
Add Host
to enable access to a new Host (or select
Edit
to update the settings for an
existing Host).
Enter the
IP Address
or
DNS Name
and a
Host Name
(up to 254 alphanumeric characters) for
the new network connected Host (and optionally enter a
Description
).
Add or edit the
Permitted Services
(or TCP/UDP port numbers) that are authorized to be used in
controlling this host. Only these
permitted services
will be forwarded through by SDT to the
Host. All other services (TCP/UDP ports) will be blocked.
The
Logging Level
specifies the level of information to be logged and monitored for each Host
access (refer to
Chapter 7
—
Alerts and Logging
).
If the Host is a PDU or UPS power device or a server with IPMI power control, then specify
RPC
(for IPMI and PDU) or
UPS
and the
Device Type
. The
Administrator
can then configure these
devices and enable which users have permission to remotely cycle power, etc. (refer to
Chapter
8
). Otherwise, leave the Device Type set to None.
If the
console server
has been configured with distributed Nagios monitoring enabled, then you
will also be presented with
Nagios Settings
options to enable nominated services on the Host to
be monitored (refer to
Chapter 10— Nagios Integration
).
Click
Apply.
This will create the new Host and also create a new Managed Device (with the same
name).
4.5 Trusted Networks
The
Trusted Networks
facility gives you an option to nominate specific IP addresses where users
(
Administrators
and
Users
) must be located to access
console server
serial ports.
