autonegotiate mode, speed, and duplex settings on the Ethernet port.

Enabling SSL 5
Administrators can enable or disable SSL settings on the library. Enabling
SSL settings encrypts all Web browser connections to the Web client, and
it enables SSL-based authentication for SMI-S. SMI-S is the newest
standard of SNMP, which makes sets of data continuously available.
SMI-S is disabled by default. You can enable SMI-S on the Tools > System
Settings
screen on the operator panel.
The default SSL setting is Disabled. Disabling SSL settings creates an
unencrypted connection from a Web browser to the Web client.
Caution: Modifying network settings will modify network
connectivity parameters, requiring remote communication
configuration changes. Your current Web client browser
session might become invalid, requiring you to close your
current browser session. Access the Web client using the
new network configuration settings and log in again.
Note: Be sure to add the PowerVault ML6000’s IP address to the list
of trusted/allowed sites on your PowerVault ML6000-
supported browser, so the Web client pages automatically
refresh.
Note: For step-by-step network configuration instructions, see your
library’s online Help. To access the online Help system, click
the Help icon at the top right of the Web client or operator
panel user interface.
