    Console Server, 24-Port


    Quick Facts

  • For in-band or out-of-band management, connect the console management port of a network device to an RJ-45 serial port of the Console Server.
  • Port buffering for disaster recovery archiving and Service Level Agreement (SLA) determination.
  • Prevent costly reboots for systems that use Sun servers.

  • Further Details

  • 24 asynchronous RS-232 serial ports.
  • Network port autonegotiates for 10- or 100-Mbps connections.
  • Select SSH security levels.

    Connect anytime from anywhere.
    Our Console Servers are ideal for remote management of distributed server farms and racks. Plus they’re great for troubleshooting network appliances such as routers and remote access servers. Simply connect the console management port of each network device to an RJ-45 serial port of a Console Server to manage equipment in-band or out-of-band via a corporate LAN/WAN or dial-in connection.

    The Console Servers also save significant amounts of time and reduce overall costs by keeping system disruption to a minimum—especially in systems with Sun® servers. In the event of an unstable connection, the Console Servers issue a no-break signal on the power cycle to prevent costly Sun server reboots that can bring down all or part of your LAN or WAN.

    Safe and secure.
    Security features are built in, so you can implement a robust security plan that thwarts unauthorized access. Protocols such as SLIP and PPP (which incorporate PAP and CHAP) permit authorized remote user dial-in connections plus support for RADIUS server environments. RADIUS authentication enables administrators who use Secure Shell (SSH) or Telnet to connect to devices attached to a Console Server.

    SSH support means network administrators can make secure connections to attached servers, routers, RAIDs, and other devices without passwords and other sensitive configuration details being “sniffed” from the network. All data traffic between an administrator’s PC and a Console Server is encrypted. Each Console Server can be configured for SSH v.1 or v.2, or none. You select the level of security your installation needs.

    Easy setup.
    The Console Server includes an RJ-45 network port that autonegotiates connections to both Ethernet (10-Mbps) and Fast Ethernet (100-Mbps) devices.

    Extremely simple to configure, the Console Server reduces setup time. Local or remote upgrades protect your investment and simplify management. At only 1U high, the Console Server takes up the minimum amount of rack space. Choose from units with 8, 16, or 24 asynchronous RS-232 serial ports.
