InRow RD 100-Series and InRow RD 200-Series User’s Guide37

Note: To use SSH, you must have an SSH client installed. Most Linux and other UNIX

platforms include an SSH client, but Microsoft Windows operating systems do not. Clients

are available from various vendors.

SNMP

SNMPv1

Path: Administration > Network > SNMPv1 > options

All user names, passwords, and community names for SNMP are transferred over the network as plain

text. If your network requires the high security of encryption, disable SNMP access or set the access for

each community to Read. (A community with Read access can receive status information and use SNMP

traps.)

When using InfraStruXure Central to manage the InRow RD on the public network of an InfraStruXure

system, you must have SNMP enabled in the InRow RD interface. Read access will allow InfraStruXure

Central to receive traps from the InRow RD, but Write access is required while you use the interface of

the InRow RD to set InfraStruXure Central as a trap receiver.

For detailed information on enhancing and managing the security of your system, see the

Security Handbook, available on the APC InRow RD Utility CD or from the APC Web site,

www.apc.com.

ssh host key Status indicates the status of the host key (private key):

• SSH Disabled: No host key in use: When disabled, SSH cannot use a host key.

• Generating: The InRow RD is creating a host key because no valid host key was found.

• Loading: A host key is being activated on the InRow RD.

• Valid: One of the following valid host keys is in the /sec directory (the required location on

the InRow RD):

•A 1024-bit host key created by the APC Security Wizard

•A 768-bit RSA host key generated by the InRow RD

Add or Replace: Browse to and upload a host key file created by the Security Wizard:

If you use FTP or Secure CoPy (SCP) instead to transfer the host key file, you must specify the

/sec directory as the target location in the command.

To use the APC Security Wizard, see the Security Handbook on the APC InRow RD Utility CD.

OTE: To reduce the time required to enable SSH, create and upload a host key in advance. If

you enable SSH with no host key loaded, the InRow RD takes up to 5 minutes to create a

host key, and the SSH server is not accessible during that time.

Remove: Remove the current host key.
