Security and Co-Location Features
Secure Shell (SSHv2) encryption and address-specific IP security masks prevent unauthorized access to command and configuration functions. The RSM also provides two different levels of user security; the Supervisor level and the Non-Supervisor level. The Supervisor level, which is intended for use by system managers and other administrators, provides complete access to all RSM port connection / disconnection functions, operating features and configuration menus, and also allows access to any port on the switch. The Non-Supervisor level is ideal for co-location applications, since users are only permitted to view status and connect to the ports allowed by their user name and password.

Capture Buffer
"Buffer Mode" allows individual ports to capture and store incoming data, such as error and status messages received from attached console ports. This "snapshot" of the last data received is stored in memory, and can be viewed, saved or erased by the system operator at any time. Console messages can be stored in the RSM port buffers, and sent to a remote location via SYSLOG, or an SNMP message can be generated to alert administrators when new console messages are received.
