IPMI Configuration
The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) is a protocol that allows for out-
of-band management of computer systems, even when they are turned off. IPMI is act-
ive whenever the server is connected to power.
VelaSync has a dedicated IPMI Ethernet interface (see rear panel illlustration, item no. 11
under
"Rear Panel Overview" on page 12
.) By default, the IPMI interface uses DHCP to
obtain an IP address. A static IP address can also be set if DHCP is not desired.
The IPMI setup window is located in the Web UI under MANAGEMENT > Network
Setup > Actions > IPMI. (It is also possible to change the login credentials from this
screen.)
Note:
You will need ADMINISTRATOR access to configure VelaSync
IPMI
in
the
Web
UI.
The default credentials are login: ADMIN; password: ADMIN.
To configure a static IP address or to view the current IP address assigned to the IPMI,
un-check the DHCP box and the IP address, Gateway, and Netmask fields will be visable.
2.9.6
SSH
The SSH, or Secure Shell, protocol is a cryptographic network protocol, allowing secure
remote login by establishing a secure channel between an SSH client and an SSH server.
SSH can also be used to run CLI commands.
SSH uses
host keys
to uniquely identify each SSH server. Host keys are used for server
authentication and identification. A secure unit permits users to create or delete RSA
or DSA keys for the SSH2 protocol.
Note:
Only SSH2 is supported due to vulnerabilities in the SSH1 pro-
tocol.
The SSH tools supported by VelaSync are:
SSH
: Secure Shell
SCP
: Secure Copy
SFTP
: Secure File Transfer Protocol
VelaSync implements the server components of SSH, SCP, and SFTP.
