center security policies while providing out-of-band access to managed
systems.Also provided in most Cyclades products are security profiles.
security profiles
Most Cyclades products require the administrator to select a security profile
during initial configuration, which helps enforce the security policies of the
organization where the unit is being used. The security profiles are
configurable and control which network services are turned on, whether a
default authentication method is specified for all subsequently-configured
devices, whether authorizations are checked. (Bypassing authorizations is not
available in any of the default security profiles but can be selected in a custom
security profile.) The security profile chosen during initial configuration can
be changed later. Services can also be turned on and off independently from
the security profile.
SEL (See event log)
serial over LAN (See SoL)
service processor (See SP)
service processor console
The console on a service processor whose dedicated Ethernet port is
connected to one of the OnBoard’s private Ethernet ports. Sometimes referred
to as NCI (for native command interface). [OnBoard only]
service processor manager
An OOBI component that provides to users and groups secure, controlled
access to basic features required for out-of-band management of servers that
have embedded management controllers (also called BMCs or service
processors). Also provides access to the console of servers and other devices
without service processors but that have Ethernet ports that allow console
access. Provides a single point of access through a single Ethernet address
(see IP address consolidation) to services that are provided by service
processors from several different vendors and to the console of certain servers
and other devices. Its administrators are able to use a single interface to
manage multiple servers without having to learn multiple management
interfaces. The AlterPath OnBoard is the Cyclades service processor manager.
