If an external authentication server (such as LDAP/LDAPS, Active
Directory, RADIUS, and so forth) is used, the KSX II allows this as well,
and will even failover to its own internal authentication should the
external authentication server become unavailable. In this way, the KSX
II's design philosophy is optimized to provide ease of installation,
complete independence from any external server, and maximum
flexibility.
Can the KSX II use DHCP?
DHCP addressing can be used, however, Raritan recommends fixed
addressing since the KSX II is an infrastructure device and can be
accessed and administered more effectively with a fixed IP address.
I'm having problems connecting to the KSX II over my IP network.
What could be the problem?
The KSX II relies on your LAN/WAN network. Some possible problems
include:
Ethernet autonegotiation - On some networks, 10/100
autonegotiation does not work properly and the KSX II unit must be
set to 100MB/full duplex or the appropriate choice for its network.
Duplicate IP address - If the IP address of the KSX II is the same as
another device, network connectivity may be inconsistent.
Port 5000 conflicts - If another device is using port 5000, the KSX II
default port must be changed (or the other device must be changed).
When changing the IP address of the KSX II or swapping in a new KSX
II, sufficient time must be allowed for its IP and MAC addresses to be
known throughout the Layer 2 and Layer 3 networks.
