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 switch by preventing unauthorized individuals from
accessing the switch and making changes to the switch’s configuration
settings.
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 70 on page 144 is displayed.
3. Toggle the options as desired. Changes are immediately activated on
the switch. 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 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, its IP address,
or user-assigned unique name. 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.
