Black Box MPSH16-D20-120V User Manual

OUTLET MANAGED PDU

• HTTPS Port: Selects the TCP/IP port number that will be used for HTTPS

connections. (Default = 443.)

Notes:

• In the Text Interface, HTTP and HTTPS parameters reside in a

separate submenu. To enable and configure HTTP and HTTPS
Access via the Text Interface, access the Network Configuration
Menu as described in Section 5.9, then type 23, press [Enter] and
use the resulting submenu to select parameters.

• When the Web Access parameter is accessed via the Text

Interface, the resulting submenu will also allow you to select SSL
(encryption) parameters as described in Section 14.

• Harden Web Security: When the Harden Web Security feature is On

(default,) only the high and medium cypher suites for SSLv3 and TLSv1 will be

enabled. When the Harden Web Security feature is Off, all SSL protocols will

be enabled, allowing compatibility with older browsers. Note that in the Text

Interface, the Harden Web Security option is found in the Web Access submenu.

(Default = On.)

• SYSLOG Address: The IP Address or domain name (up to 64 characters)

for the Syslog Daemon that will receive log records generated by the Outlet

Managed PDU. For more information, please refer to Section 11.

(Default = undefined.)

• Ping Access: Enables/Disables response to the ping command. When

Disabled, the Outlet Managed PDU will not respond to Ping commands. Note

that disabling Ping Access at the Network Port will not effect the Ping-No-

Access Alarm. (Default = On.)

5.9.3. IP Security
The IP Security feature allows the Outlet Managed PDU to restrict unauthorized

IP addresses from establishing inbound connections to the unit via telnet or Web

Browser. This allows you to grant access to only a specific group of Telnet or Web

IP addresses, or block a particular IP address completely. In the default state, the

Outlet Managed PDU accepts incoming IP connections from all hosts.

In the Text Interface, IP Security parameters are defined via the Network

Configuration menu. In the Web Browser Interface, these parameters are found by

placing the cursor over the "Network Configuration" link, and then clicking on the

"IP Security" link in the resulting fly-out menu. In the default state, IP Security is

disabled. The IP Security Function employs a TCP Wrapper program which allows

the use of standard, Linux operators, wild cards and net/mask pairs to create a host

based access control list.
