Edit Diagnostic Console Configuration

The Diagnostic Console can be accessed via the serial port (COM1), VGA/Keyboard/Mouse (KVM) port, or from SSH clients. If you want to access Status Console, one more access mechanism, Web access, is also available.

For each port type, you can configure whether or not status or admin logins are allowed, and whether field support can access Diagnostic Console from the port. For SSH clients, you can configure which port number should be used, as long as no other CC-SG service is using the desired port. For Web access to Status Console, you may specify an account, which is distinct from any other account in the system, for restricting the access. Otherwise, any user who can access CC-SG via the Web can access the Status Console web page.

Important: Be careful not to lock out all Admin or Field Support access.

• To edit Diagnostic Console configuration:

1. Choose Operation > Diagnostic Console Config.
2. Determine how you want the Diagnostic Console configured and accessible.

   There are four Diagnostic Console Access mechanisms: Serial Port (COM1), KVM Console, SSH (IP network), and Web. The Diagnostic Console offers three services: Status Display, Admin Console, Raritan Field Support. This screen allows the selection of which services are available via the various access mechanisms.

   If the Web option and Status option are enabled, the Status Console web page is always available as long as the Web Server is up and functional. To restrict the access to the Status Console web page, type an account and a password.

3. Type the port number you want to set for SSH access to Diagnostic Console in the Port field. The default port is 23.
4. Click Save.
