Internal Management Features
Overview
The Management Card has two internal interfaces (control console and
Web interface) which provide menus with options that allow you to manage
the DC Power Plant and the Management Card. The Management Card’s
SNMP interface also allows you to use an SNMP browser with the
PowerNet
®
Management Information Base (MIB) to manage the DC Power
Plant.
Access priority for logging on
Only one user at a time can log onto the Management Card to use its
internal user interface features. The priority for access is as follows:
• Local access to the control console from a computer with a direct serial
connection to the Management Card always has the highest priority.
• Telnet access to the control console from a remote computer has
priority over Web access.
• Web access either directly or through the InfraStruXure Manager (for
InfraStruXure-compatible products), has the lowest priority.
