DELL PC6224F User Manual

Using the CLI

• Denied attempts by external management system to access the system.

The security log record contains the following information:

• The user name, if available, or the protocol being accessed if the event is 

related to a remote management system.

• The IP address from which the user is connecting or the IP address of the 

remote management system.

• A description of the security event.
• A timestamp of the event

If syslog is available, the CLI sends the security log records to the syslog 

server. If syslog is not available, the CLI records the last 1000 security log 

records in a log separate from the system log records itemized above. Also in 

this case, the CLI suppresses repeated events from the same source and 

instead the CLI records one event within a period of time and includes that 

count as part of the log.

In addition to user access control, the system also manages the access level for 

particular management interfaces. The system allows individual hosts or 

subnets to access only specific management protocols. 
The user defines a management profile, which identifies management 

protocols such as the following:

• Telnet.
• SSH and the keying information to use for SSH.
• HTTP.
• HTTPS and the security certificate to be used.
• SNMPv1/v2c and the read and read/write community strings to be used.
• SNMPv3 and the security information for used this protocol.

For each of these management profiles, the user defines the list of hosts or 

subnets from which the management profiles may be used.

The CLI has several other capabilities associated with its primary functions.
