Server Settings Settings of the
network servers
hosted by the
adapter.
For greater
security, use
these controls to
change port
settings or
disable any
servers you are
not using.
Server:
Name of the server/service on the adapter..
Enable:
Enables/Disables server.
If you disable the SNMP server -- all SNMP services will be disabled.
The adapter will no longer accept SNMP get or set requests and will
no longer send SNMP traps.
If you disable the http server, the adapter will no longer respond to
browser access requests.
If you disable the telnet server, the adapter will no longer accept
incoming connections via telnet.
Port:
The default port settings for these servers are the "well-known" ports
for a specific protocol. If an arbitrary port is used (between 5000 and
65535), you can effectively "hide" the server on the network. This
provides an additional level of security since the port must be known
by the user when attempting to connect to the server with client
software.
(NOTE: If you change the port setting in a server, you will also need
to use the new port setting when accessing the server with a client.
For example, if you change the http server port to "8080", then, the
syntax you use in your browser address bar would need to identify
the non-standard port:
http://[manageupsDNSName]:8080
Changing ports can have unexpected consequences. Some ports
have standard assignments for use with specific network services.
And, depending on your network security policies, some ports may
be blocked at routers or firewalls. If you feel the need to change
ports from the default values, you should consult with your network
administrator.
The FTP and the mopnet servers cannot be disabled.
