Avocent Management Software Device IP Addresses
You can contact and register an unmanaged switch with an Avocent
management software server by specifying the IP address of the management
software server.
To configure the server IP address:
1 On the side navigation bar, select User Accounts - Avocent. The Avocent
Management Software Settings screen is displayed.
2 Enter the server IP addresses that you want to contact. Up to four addresses
are allowed.
3 Use the scroll bar to select the desired retry interval.
4 To disassociate an RCS that has been registered with the server, click the
Disassociate button.
5 Click Save.
LDAP
The Dell 1082DS/2162DS/4322D RCS can authenticate and authorize users via
a local database or by an external scalable distributed directory service using the
Dell RCS software or OBWI with LDAP (Lightweight Directory Assistance
Protocol) support. Refer to the LDAP section for additional information on
configuring and using LDAP on the RCS.
Override Admin
Should a network failure occur, an account is provided that may be used
regardless of the unit’s ability to authenticate against an LDAP server. Refer to
Configure the Override Admin Account in Chapter 5.
