Enabling and Disabling the Access Methods
As explained in Chapter 1, you can access the Omega interface three
different ways. You can disable one or more of the methods to enhance
the security of a stack by preventing unauthorized individuals from
accessing the stack and making changes to the configuration settings of
the switches.
To enable or disable an Omega access method, perform the following
steps:
1. From the Omega Main Menu, choose System Configuration.
The System Configuration menu is displayed.
2. Select Omega Options.
The Omega Options window in Figure 60 on page 127 is
displayed.
3. Toggle the options as desired. Changes are immediately activated on
the stack. The options are explained below:
Local Omega Enabled
Local Omega Disabled
These two selections allow you to control whether the Omega
interface can be accessed by connecting a terminal or PC to the
RS232 management port on the master switch. This is referred to
as accessing the program locally. The default for this access
method is enabled.
Remote Omega Enabled
Remote Omega Disabled
Accessing Omega remotely is accomplished with the Telnet
program or an SNMP management program, such as HP
Openview. Accessing the program remotely means you can
access the program from a remote location by entering the
switch’s MAC address or its IP address. The default for this access
method is enabled.
Web-based Omega Enabled
Web-based Omega Disabled
Web-based Omega means you can access the management
menus by connecting to your switch through a web browser. This
feature requires a TCP/IP network. The default is enabled.
4. Return to the Main Menu.
