Configuration examples
Console Access Server (CAS) profile
With the console server set up as a CAS profile, you may access a connected server’s serial console
port from a workstation on the network. There is no authentication by default, but the system may
be configured for an authentication server such as Radius, LDAP or a local database.
Figure 4.1 displays an example of a CAS environment, and descriptions follow in Table 4.9. This
configuration example has local authentication and serially connected workstations.
