Managing the DECserver 90L
Local Management
Local management of the DECserver 90L is performed with a terminal
connected to one of its eight ports and using the Set, Show, and Reset
commands of the DECserver 90L.
Remote Management
The DECserver 90L can be managed from a remote node on the network
using MOP console carrier. Once the MOP console carrier session is
established, the Set and Show commands are used to examine and set
the various port and server parameters. The Reset command is used to
reset ports and the server to the power-up state.
A VMS-based system can establish a console carrier session with a
DECserver 90L as shown in the following example. The Ethernet address
of the DECserver 90L in this example is 08-00-2B-08-32-2B and SVA-0
identifies the system’s Ethernet interface.
$ MCR NCP
$ NCP> CONNECT VIA SVA-0 PHY ADDR 08-00-2B-08-32-2B
Console connected (press CTRL/D when finished)
-> (DECserver 90L PROMPT)
Security
Security for the DECserver 90L is provided by a password protected
management mode. This mode of operation is called authorized mode and
can be set and cleared as required. When authorized mode is set, the
following conditions exist:
•
Users can only set the parameters of their port and show the server’s
parameters.
•
Manager mode must be enabled (password required) to set server
parameters and port parameters other than the one you are connected
to and to change the password.
When the DECserver 90L is first installed, authorized mode is not set and
any port can be used to set any other port’s parameters and the server’s
parameters. To set authorized mode requires physical access to the unit.
When setting authorized mode a password is entered and verified. The
units power must be cycled, turned off and then on, within one minute of
entering the password for authorized mode to be set. The cycling of the
power verifies that you have access to the unit and causes the password
to be saved in the units non-volatile RAM (NVRAM).
