HPE IP KVM Console Switch G2 with Virtual Media & CAC: технические характеристики и документация

HPE IP KVM Console Switch G2 with Virtual Media & CAC

The HPE IP Console Switch G2 with Virtual Media and Common Access Card (CAC) support is a key component in managing the heterogeneous data center and along with the IP Viewer software allows remote access to multiple servers running various operating systems. Virtual Media capability allows a removable drive or ISO image to be remotely mapped to an attached server in the data center or a remote office for software installations and upgrades. An intuitive User Interface provides menus for configuration, virtual media, display, and even security and upgrades from the local console. The term CAC stands for Common Access Card, also known as "Smart Cards". The CAC allows government agency and other company employees to keep all of their network access information on a card (about the size of a credit card) that is read by either an external USB reader or a port on the PC/server. These appliances adds support for reading and transmitting USB CCID Generic Smart Card/CAC data from user station (local or remote) to end server.

In tiered environments the HPE IP Console Switch G2 with Virtual Media & CAC can allow an administrator to manage up to 1024 servers across two tiers from a single console. When tiered with additional HPE Server Console Switches with Virtual Media application installations and upgrades can be pushed through to any server on any of the two tiers from a single console.

The HPE IP Console Switch G2 with Virtual Media & CAC is backwards compatible with all HPE Cat5 based Server Console Switches and interface adapters that do not support virtual media.

Standard rack mounting of the HPE IP Console Switches will take up 1U (1.75") of front panel rack space. However, the switches can also be mounted in a "zero U" profile by mounting in the side rails of the rack, or behind the HPE 1U Rackmount Keyboard or the 1U LCD8500 Console.

Target Applications and Markets

Network Administrators, System Administrators, Engineering Managers, Chief Information Officers, and Managers of Information Systems are all among the users who will see benefits from using the HPE family of console switches.

• 24/7 data centers - The HPE IP Console Switch enables staffed data centers to move people out of computer rooms while still maintaining server accessibility. Technicians can load the IP Viewer software on their local workstation at a desk or cubicle and access the servers in the computer room through a LAN/WAN connection.
• Staffed remote sites - The HPE IP Console Switch provides users with access to local KVM functions over their LAN or WAN. Remote users can access servers and perform actions as if they are standing at a local console.
• Heterogeneous environments - The HPE IP Console Switch connects to any type of server that has a standard PS/2 or USB KVM connection and will also connect to BladeSystems and serial devices.

• Programmable Scanning - An evaluation of system performance can be made by sequentially scanning any or all of the computers in the system. Programmable scanning allows you to determine which computers to include as well as the duration of the connection.
• Configuration NVRAM - NVRAM (non-volatile RAM) makes it easy to set configuration information using commands entered from the keyboard. The NVRAM stores the resulting configuration until a user decision is made to change the information, even if the unit loses power.
• Password Protection - For protection against unauthorized users, the switch box provides a local password option for security purposes as well as individual user authentication and access rights for remote users.
• Switch Firmware Update - The application code of the switch can be quickly and easily updated via FLASH ROM. Updates can be accomplished remotely over the LAN using the IP Viewer 3.0 or higher software.
• Multiple Space Saving 0U Installation Methods -

- Rear Rack Mount - HPE Console Switches may be mounted behind a HPE 1U Rackmount Keyboard, or the LCD8500 rack mounted console with slide rails provided with the switch.

Tiered Configurations

Tiering is the ability to connect one or more switches under a single switch at the top as in a pyramid. Tiering allows an administrator to access larger numbers of servers from a single local or remote console. The HPE IP Console Switch G2 with Virtual Media & CAC will support up to 2 levels of tiering under certain conditions

• HPE IP Console Switch G2 can now be on the second tier of a tiered configuration.
• HPE IP Console SwitchG2 with Virtual Media may be tiered to HPE Server Console Switches with Virtual Media or any Cat5 based HPE Server Console Switches by connecting a Cat5 cable from a server port on the top switch to the dedicated tiering port on the switch below. Interface adapters are not needed to tier HPE Server Console Switches.
• Virtual media can be mapped to servers on any tier but only if the server is connected to a HPE Server Console Switch with Virtual Media using a Virtual Media Interface Adapter. Virtual media operation requires a Virtual Media Interface Adapter connected to a HPE Console Switch with Virtual Media.
• An HPE IP Console Switch G2 with Virtual Media & CAC cannot be tiered under a legacy Cat5 based HPE Server Console Switch.
• To perform a firmware upgrade for a tiered HPE Server Console Switch G2 with Virtual Media and all attached Interface Adapters; you must connect to the tiered HPE Server Console Switch G2 On Board Web Interface (OBWI).
