Packet filtering
An administrator can configure a console server to filter packets like a firewall. Packet filtering
is controlled by chains, which are named profiles with user-defined rules. The console server
filter table contains a number of built-in chains that can be modified but not deleted. An
administrator can also create and configure new chains.
SNMP
If SNMP is enabled in the selected security profile, an administrator can configure the Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent on the console server to answer requests sent by
an SNMP management application.
The console server SNMP agent supports SNMP v1/v2 and v3, MIB-II and Enterprise MIB. For
more information, see SNMP Configuration on page 35.

Data logging, notifications, alarms and data buffering
An administrator can set up data logging, notifications and alarms to alert administrators of
problems with email, SMS, SNMP trap or DSView 3 software notifications. An administrator
can also store buffered data locally, remotely or with DSView 3 management software.
Messages about the console server and connected servers or devices can also be sent to syslog
servers.
Power management
The console server enables users who are authorized for power management to turn power on,
turn power off and reset devices plugged into a connected power distribution unit (PDU). The
power devices can be connected to any serial port or to the AUX/Modem port (if an internal
modem is not installed). For more information, see Power Management on page 65
Auto discovery
An administrator can enable auto discovery to find the hostname of a target connected to a
serial port. Auto discovery’s default probe and answer strings have a broad range. An
administrator can configure site-specific probe and answer strings. Auto discovery can also be
configured through the DSView 3 software.
