Avocent 5224 User Manual

14        MergePoint 5224/5240 Service Processor Manager User Guide

When the MergePoint 5224/5240 SP manager is being managed without DSView 3 management 
software, the administrator needs to select a security profile based on the security requirements of 
the organization. 

NOTE: All of the features and procedures described in this guide work when the Moderate security profile is 
in effect. 

FTP

N/A

HTTP, HTTPS

Redirect HTTP automatically to HTTPS

ICMP

IPSec

PPTP

RPC

SSH v1, SSH v2

Assign an alternate port to SSH

Telnet

Services may also be turned on and off independently from the security profile. For more details, 
see the MergePoint 5224/5240 Service Processor Manager Installer and Administrator Guide. 

In addition to turning services on and off, an administrator may select the security profile option to 
override authorizations, which enables access based on authentication only. 

NOTE: If you are prevented from using a service you need to use, such as FTP or SNMP, talk with the 
administrator to find out if the service can be enabled or if another way of performing a necessary task is 
available that is consistent with your site’s security policies.
