Switched Rack PDU

Web (Administration>Network>Web>options)

Option Description

access To activate changes to any of these selections, log off from the Rack PDU:

• Disable: Disables access to the Web interface. (You must use the control console

to re-enable access. Select Network and Web/SSL/TLS. Then for HTTP, select

Access and Enabled. For HTTPS access, also select Web/SSL and Enabled.)

• Enable HTTP (the default): Enables Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), which

provides Web access by user name and password, but does not encrypt user

names, passwords, and data during transmission.

• Enable HTTPS: Enables Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTPS) over Secure

Sockets Layer (SSL). SSL encrypts user names, passwords, and data during

transmission, and authenticates the Rack PDU by digital certificate. When HTTPS

is enabled, your browser displays a small lock icon.

See “Creating and Installing Digital Certificates” in the Security Handbook on the

Switched Rack PDU Utility CD to choose among the several methods for using

digital certificates.

HTTP Port: The TCP/IP port (80 by default) used to communicate by HTTP with the

Rack PDU.

HTTPS Port: The TCP/IP port (443 by default) used to communicate by HTTPS

with the Rack PDU.

For either of these ports, you can change the port setting to any unused port from

5000 to 32768 for additional security. Users must then use a colon (:) in the address

field of the browser to specify the port number. For example, for a port number of

5000 and an IP address of 152.214.12.114:

http://152.214.12.114:5000

https://152.214.12.114:5000

ssl cipher

suites

Enable or disable any of the SSL encryption ciphers and hash algorithms:

• DES: A block cipher that provides authentication by Secure Hash Algorithm.

• RC4_MD5 (enabled by default): A stream cipher that provides authentication by

MD5 hash algorithm.

• RC4_SHA (enabled by default): A stream cipher that provides authentication by

Secure Hash Algorithm.

• 3DES: A block cipher that provides authentication by Secure Hash Algorithm.
