Switched Rack PDU

Access Procedures
Overview
The Switched Rack PDU has two internal interfaces (control console and Web
interface) that allow you to manage the Rack PDU.
The SNMP interface also allows you to use a SNMP browser with the PowerNet
Management Information Base (MIB) to manage the Rack PDU.
Access priority for logging on
Only one user at a time can log on to the Switched Rack PDU. The priority for access,
beginning with the highest priority, is as follows:
• Local access to the control console from a computer with a direct serial connection to
the Rack PDU.
• Telnet or Secure SHell (SSH) access to the control console from a remote computer.
• Web access, either directly or through the InfraStruXure Manager.
To use a DHCP server to configure the TCP/IP settings at a Rack
PDU, see TCP/IP and Communication Settings.
For more information about the internal user interfaces, see Control
Console and Web Interface.
