2 Cyclades ACS 6000 Advanced Console Server Installation/Administration/User Guide
Manager to troubleshoot, maintain, cycle power, reboot connected devices and change the user
password. For more information on the Web Manager, see Chapters 3 and 4.
Access options
Secure access is available through the following local (analog console port) and remote (digital IP
and dial-up) options:
• LAN/WAN IP network connection.
• Dial-up either to a factory-configured internal modem (optional), to a modem connected either
to a serial port or the AUX port (which is only possible when an internal modem is not
installed), or to a PC phone card (modem, GSM or CDMA) installed in one of the PC card
slots or in the USB port.
• Target device connection. If a serial port is connected to the console of a device, an authorized
user can make a Telnet, SSH v1 or SSH v2 connection to the device console through the Web
Manager. An authorized user can also use a Telnet or SSH client to make a connection directly
to the console of a target device. (For Telnet or SSH to be used for target device connections,
the Telnet or SSH service must be configured in the security profile that is in effect.)
• ACS 6000 console server console connection. An administrator can log in either from a local
terminal or from a computer with a terminal emulation program that is connected to the
console port and can use the CLI utility. The CLI utility prompt (--|- cli>) displays at login.
More than one administrator (root or admin or a user in the administrator group) can log into the
console server and have an active CLI or Web Manager session. All sessions receive a warning
message when the configuration is changed by another administrator or by the system: The
appliance configuration has been altered from outside of your session. Upon receipt of this
message, each administrator needs to verify that changes made during the session were saved.
NOTE: If cron jobs are run by automated scripts, a root or admin user login can cause the cron jobs to fail.
IPv4 and IPv6 support
The ACS 6000 console server supports dual stack IPv4 and IPv6 protocols. The administrator can
use the Web Manager or CLI to configure support for IPv4 addresses only or for both IPv4 and
IPv6 addresses. The following list describes the IPv6 support provided in the console server:
• DHCP
• Dial-in sessions (PPP links)
• DSView software integration
• eth0 and eth1 Ethernet interfaces
• Firewall (IP tables)
• Linux kernel
• Remote authentication: Radius, Tacacs+, LDAP and Kerberos servers
•SNMP
