remote password
Sets the password to remotely connect to the remote management port.
Syntax
[no] remote password <password>
Parameters
<password> | Password to connect to the remote management port. |
Usage
To set a remote management port password
• On the SteelHead, assign a password to the remote management port:
amnesiac (config) # remote password root
• Using the IPMItool on a remote computer, view the power status of the SteelHead. If you are using the Windows version of IPMItool, replace all references to ipmitool with ipmitool.exe.
ipmitool -H <remote port ip address> -P "root" chassis power status
Output should state Chassis Power is on.
You can download a Linux version at http://sourceforge.net/projects/ipmitool/files/.
Example
amnesiac (config) # remote password root
Product
SteelHead, Interceptor

Hardware-assist rule commands
With hardware-assist pass-through (HAP) rules, the hardware can decide based on source subnet, destination subnet, or VLAN ID whether to passthrough certain traffic at the NIC or to pass it to the kernel for optimization. HAP rules can automatically bypass all UDP (User Datagram Protocol) connections. You can also configure rules for bypassing specific TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) connections. Automatically bypassing these connections decreases the work load on local SteelHeads.
For a hardware-assist rule to be applied to a specific NIC, the corresponding in-path interface must be enabled and have an IP address.
With IPv4 traffic only, a maximum of 240 HAP rules can be configured. When using IPv6 only or a combination of IPv6 and IPv4, the maximum number of HAP rules is 120.
Interceptors equipped with one or more of the following NICs can use hardware-assist rules:
• Two-Port LR4 Fiber 100 Gigabit-Ethernet PCI-E
• Two-Port SR4 Fiber 100 Gigabit-Ethernet PCI-E
• Two-Port LR4 Fiber 40 Gigabit-Ethernet PCI-E
• Two-Port SR4 Fiber 40 Gigabit-Ethernet PCI-E
• Four-Port SR Multimode Fiber 10 Gigabit-Ethernet PCI-E
• Two-Port LR Single Mode Fiber 10 Gigabit-Ethernet PCI-E
• Two-Port SR Multimode Fiber 10 Gigabit-Ethernet PCI-E
Two-port LR Single Mode Fiber 10 Gigabit-Ethernet PCI-E and the Two-port SR Multimode Fiber 10 Gigabit-Ethernet PCI-E cards only support a maximum of 50 IPv4 hardware-assist rules.
