5. Firewall, Failover and OOB Access 5.3.2 Failover Dial-Out The console servers can be configured so a dial-out PPP connection is automatically set up in the event of a disruption in the principal management network. Note: Only SSH access is enabled on the failover connection. In firmware versions later than 3.0.2, HTTPS access is also enabled so the administrator can use SSH (or HTTPS) to connect to the console server and fix the problem. When configuring the principal network connection in System: IP, specify the failover interface that will be used when a fault has been detected with Network / Network1 (eth0). This can be either internal modem or the dial serial DB9 (if you are using an external modem on the console port) or USB modem (if you are using a plug-in USB modem on a B093). • Specify the Probe Addresses of two sites (the Primary and Secondary) that the IM console server is to ping to determine if Network / Network1 is still operational. • Select the System: Dial menu option and the port to be configured (Serial DB9 Port, PC Card or Internal Modem Port). • Select the Baud Rate and Flow Control that will communicate with the modem. Note: You can further configure the console/modem port to include modem init strings by editing /etc/mgetty.config files as described in the 13. Management. • Check the Enable Dial-Out Access box and enter the access details for the remote PPP server. 81

5.3.2 Failover Dial-Out
The console servers can be configured so a dial-out PPP connection is automatically set up in the event of a disruption in the
principal management network.
Note:
Only SSH access is enabled on the failover connection. In firmware versions later than 3.0.2, HTTPS access is also enabled so the
administrator can use SSH (or HTTPS) to connect to the console server and fix the problem.
When configuring the principal network connection in System: IP, specify the failover interface that will be used when a fault
has been detected with Network / Network1 (eth0). This can be either internal modem or the dial serial DB9 (if you are using
an external modem on the console port) or USB modem (if you are using a plug-in USB modem on a B093).
• Specify the Probe Addresses of two sites (the Primary and Secondary) that the IM console server is to ping to determine if
Network / Network1 is still operational.
• Select the
System: Dial
menu option and the port to be configured (
Serial DB9 Port, PC Card
or I
nternal Modem Port
).
• Select the
Baud Rate
and
Flow Control
that will communicate with the modem.
Note:
You can further configure the console/modem port to include modem init strings by editing /etc/mgetty.config files as described in the
13. Management
.
• Check the
Enable Dial-Out Access
box and enter the access details for the remote PPP server.
