Field Description
Password The password used to log into a device. You also have an option to
display passwords while typing them.
Protocol The protocol used to log into a device. The available options are
HTTP and HTTPS.
Port The port number that is used for communications. Port 80 is
normally used but it may be another port number.
Once you have configured your communication settings, click Save to save your profile or Cancel to exit
without saving the profile.
Apply a Communication Settings Profile
Once you have defined a Communication Settings Profile, you must apply it to your system. To
configure Communication Settings, you must first select the Enable configuration checkbox to activate
the settings.
You should always configure Communication Settings at the appliance level. When you do, the
configuration is inherited for all the other levels. Then, if you have a level that needs a dierent
configuration, you can apply that profile to that level using the override feature.
For example, if most of the network devices require a console to interface with it, you can configure the
Communication Settings for console interface at the appliance level. Then, if you have a small group of
devices that require you to interface with it through a web UI, you can configure the Communication
Settings for HTTP interface and override the appliance level configuration by selecting another network
level.
Note
The Override settings option is available when you select (highlight) a network level below
the appliance level. Use the Expand button to reveal the other levels.
