Access Server Protocols
When a serial port is connected to the console port on a device, a Console
Access Server (CAS) profile must be defined for the serial port using values
you supply in the serial port configuration screens. Selecting the appropriate
connection protocol on the Configuration>Serial/AUX>Physical
Ports>General Screen is part of defining the CAS profile The connection
protocols apply in the following cases:
• When a user accesses the serial port through the Web Manager, the
session automatically uses the specified protocol to connect to the console
of the connected device.
• When a user logs in remotely over the Internet to the serial port, access is
allowed only for the selected protocol. If the user uses another protocol,
access is denied. For example, if you specify the “Console (SSH)”
protocol, the user can use ssh but cannot use telnet to access the serial
port.
The options from the list of connection protocols in the following table are
used when the OnSite serial port is connected to the console port of a server or
other device.
Table 6-12: Protocols for Devices With Console Ports Connected to Serial Ports
Protocol Name Result
Console (Telnet) Authorized users can use telnet to connect to the console of the
connected device.
Console (SSH) Authorized users can use ssh to connect to the console of the
connected device.
Console
(TelnetSSH)
Authorized users can use telnet or SSH to connect to the console
of the connected device. When shared sessions are allowed,
simultaneous telnet and SSH sessions are allowed through the
serial port.
Console (Raw) Authorized users can make a raw socket connection to the console
of the connected device.
