Console password
If this is enabled, access to the switch’s Console Main menu will require the user to log in.
Reset certificates
This menu option enables you to clear the certificate sent by the DSView software to the
DSR2035/8035 switch.
When a DSR2035/8035 switch is added to a server running DSView software, a certificate is
downloaded from that server to the DSR2035/8035 switch automatically. That certificate is
replicated across all servers running DSView software operating in a predefined system.
Thereafter, any of the servers in that system will be able to communicate with the DSR2035/
8035
switch.
If the server running DSView software cannot contact the DSR2035/8035 switch to add
the certificate, an error message is displayed and the DSR2035/8035 switch is not added to
the database.
Security mode
The DSR2035/8035 switch operates in one of two modes: Security disabled or Security enabled.
In Security disabled mode, the DSR2035/8035 switch allows any server running DSView software
to communicate with it.
In Security enabled mode, an initial server running DSView software is allowed to download a
certificate to the switch. If that server is part of a system that replicates certificates, it will pass
the certificate to the other servers in that certificate replication system. Thereafter, all servers in
that system will be allowed to access the DSR2035/8035 switch. All servers that are not part of
that system will be locked out.
When the DSR2035/8035 switch is removed from the DSView software database, the
certificate is removed from the DSR2035/8035 switch. This enables you to move the
DSR2035/8035 switch from one certificate replication system to another. The certificate can
also be removed using the Console menu accessed via the SETUP port on the DSR2035/8035
switch. See the
Reset certificates section.
See the DSView Installer/User Guide for more information on software security.
Firmware management
This menu contains the FLASH Download selection. For more information, see Appendix A.
Enable debug messages
This menu option turns on console status messages. Because this can significantly reduce
performance, you should only enable debug messages when instructed to do so by Avocent
Technical Support. When you are finished viewing the messages, press any key to exit this mode.
