Selection of a Security Level for Viewer Connection
1. Go to the Security Settings screen on the switch’s Web Management interface and make a
viewer connection selection from the “Security Level” drop-down menu.
• Level 1: No encryption (no SSL)
• Level 2: 256-bit encryption, no user certicate required for user authentication
• Level 3: 256-bit encryption, user certicate required for authentication (PKI)
Security Level 1 offers a non-secured connection, and hence should be used with caution
when the switch is intended to be accessed through an external network. For Level 1, there’s
virtually no encryption.
Security Level 2 offers a secured SSL connection that provides encryption for mouse,
keyboard and video but uses no PKI authentication.
Security Level 3 offers a secured SSL connection that provides encryption for mouse,
keyboard and video, and uses 1024-bit PKI authentication.
IMPORTANT: The selection of a security level to be implemented for the switch’s viewer
connection is of utmost importance, especially when your remote server connections require
a high level of security in order to keep your servers safe from unauthorized entry and/or
network sniffers.
2. (Optional) If you choose to implement the PKI authentication feature on the switch’s viewer,
you need to select Level 3 security in the Viewer Connection panel on the Security Settings
screen of your Web Management interface.
Then enter the password in the “KVM Server Password” eld. NOTE: You should enter the
password that has encrypted the server private key in the server private key le (serverkey.pem)
