Some servers support a single connection that enables the device to
receive all information in a single connection. If the server does not
support this, the device reverts to multiple connections.
Configuring Default Parameters
The
page enables configuring servers.
Only users who have privilege level 15 on the server can administer the
switch. Privilege level 15 is given to a user or group of users on the
server by the following string in the user or group definition:
service = exec {
priv-lvl = 15
}
To configure server parameters:
STEP 1
Click
Security
>
. The
page is displayed.
STEP 2
Enter the default
Key String
used for communicating with all servers.
The switch can be configured to use this key or to use a key entered for an specific
server (entered in the
Add Server
page).
If you do not enter a key string in this field, the server key entered in the
Add
Server
page must match the encryption key used by the
server.
If you enter both a key string here and a key string for an individual
server, the key string configured for the individual server takes
precedence.
STEP 3
In the
Timeout for Reply
field, enter the amount of time that passes before the
connection between the switch and the server times out. If a value is
not entered in the
Add Server
page for a specific server, the value is
taken from this field.
STEP 4
Click
Apply
. The settings are added to the Running Configuration file.
STEP 5
To add a server, click
