Network Settings
After these rules are applied, only the hosts that belong to the subnet 192.168.2.x can
access the Console Server (through http port 80).
In addition to the IP filter chain rule mentioned above, the web interface also provides a
convenient way to enable/disable telnet (port 23) or the web-configuration port (port 80/443).
These services are mainly for the Console-Server configuration. Clicking “Enable/Disable” in
the “Action” field will help to add/modify the chain rule quickly without the hassle of manually
editing the rule.
Web-Server Configuration
The Console Server’s web server supports both HTTP and HTTPS (HTTP over SSL) services
simultaneously.
You can select the user-authentication method for the web login. The Console Server
currently provides authentication methods of Local and RADIUS.
Local
The Console Server by default points to the local database for the web-server login user
authentication.
RADIUSandLocal
The Console Server refers to the RADIUS server for user-account authentication first. If
the user account is not found or the RADIUS server is down, the Console Server looks up
its own local database to find the user account. The unit will not permit a user to log in if
neither a RADIUS or local database account is found. The RADIUS server setting is user-
configurable via the RADIUS server configuration page. Refer to page 24.
Note:
In order to get a better text alignment, a VT-100-awared telnet client is preferred to align
the text output. PuTTY is one of the recommended telnet clients that offer better UI text
alignment. It can be downloaded from
