Configuring the BMC
From the Configuration section you can view the BMC settings and configure settings not related to your network configuration. Select the Configuration tab and use the navigation bar on the left to view these sections:
• IPv4/IPv6 Network - Although sections appear for network configuration, Riverbed does not recommend setting BMC network values from the BMC interface. The changes will not be saved between system restarts. Instead, configure the network settings for the BMC through the appliance CLI (or for NetProfiler, through the standard Web interface). For details, see
Setting Up the BMC for Initial Access.
• Users - Displays the users configured for BMC access and shows their status, access privilege, and user names. You can add, modify, and delete users from this page. You can configure up to 15 users for BMC access.
• Security Settings - View and configure security settings, such as the number of failed login attempts before a user is locked out, session timeout length, and protocols for sessions and network services.
Riverbed does not recommend modifying the SSH settings in the security section.
• LDAP - Enable or disable LDAP authentication.
• VLAN - Riverbed does not recommend setting VLAN configuration from the BMC interface. The changes will not be saved between system restarts.
• SSL - Upload an SSL certificate and privacy key to allow appliance access in secured mode.
• Remote Session - Set encryption on KVM or Media during a redirection session.
• Mouse Mode - Set mouse emulation from local window to remote screen.
• Keyboard Macros - Configure keyboard macro buttons for the Remote Console.
• Alerts - Configure which system events generate alerts and how to send notifications.
• Alert Email - Configure how alerts are sent by email to an external SMTP email server.
• Node Manager - Set node manager power policies. Note, Riverbed does not recommend setting up suspend periods.
