Manageability
Can the KX II be remotely managed and configured via web
browser?
Yes, the KX II can be completely configured remotely via web browser.
Note that this does require that the workstation have an appropriate Java
Runtime Environment (JRE) version installed.
Besides the initial setting of the KX II's IP address, everything about the
solution can be completely set up over the network. (In fact, using a
crossover Ethernet cable and the KX II's default IP address, you can
even configure the initial settings via web browser.)
Can I backup and restore the KX II's configuration?
Yes, the KX II's device and user configurations can be completely
backed up for later restoration in the event of a catastrophe.
The KX II's backup and restore functionality can be used remotely over
the network or via the Remote Console.
What auditing or logging does the KX II offer?
For complete accountability, the KX II logs all major user and system
events with a date and time stamp. For instance, reported events include
(but are not limited to): user login, user log off, user access of a particular
server, unsuccessful login, configuration changes, and so forth.
Can the KX II integrate with Syslog?
Yes. In addition to the KX II's own internal logging capabilities, the KX II
can send all logged events to a centralized Syslog server.
Can the KX II integrate with SNMP?
Yes. In addition to the KX II's own internal logging capabilities, the KX II
can send SNMP traps to SNMP management systems like HP
OpenView and Raritan's CC-NOC.
Can the KX II's internal clock be synchronized with a timeserver?
Yes, the KX II supports the industry-standard NTP protocol for
synchronization with either a corporate timeserver or with any public
timeserver (assuming that outbound NTP requests are allowed through
the corporate firewall).
