Manageability
QUESTION ANSWER
Can Dominion KX II be
remotely managed and
configured via Web
browser?
Yes. Dominion 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 Dominion 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 Dominion KX II’s default IP
address, you can even configure the initial settings via Web browser.)
Can I backup and restore
Dominion KX II’s
configuration?
Yes. Dominion KX II’s device and user configurations can be
completely backed up for later restoration in the event of a catastrophe.
Dominion KX II’s backup and restore functionality can be used
remotely over the network, or through a Web browser.
What auditing or
logging does Dominion
KX II offer?
For complete accountability, Dominion KX II logs all major user events
with a date and time stamp. For instance, reported events include (but
are not limited to): user login, user logout, user access of a particular
server, unsuccessful login, configuration changes, etc.
Can Dominion KX II
integrate with Syslog?
Yes. In addition to Dominion KX II’s own internal logging capabilities,
Dominion KX II can send all logged events to a centralized Syslog
server.
Can Dominion KX II
integrate with SNMP?
Yes. In addition to Dominion KX II’s own internal logging capabilities,
Dominion KX II can send SNMP tracks to SNMP management systems
like HP Openview and Raritan’s CC-NOC.
Can Dominion KX II’s
internal clock be
synchronized with a
timeserver?
Yes. Dominion 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).
