Security Groups work separately and independently from each other. To the production networks, a Security Group appears a single Security Gateway. Members as specified by the <SGM IDs>.

<SGM IDs> can be:

  • No <SGM IDs> specified, or all

    Applies to all Security Group Members and all Chassis

  • One Security Group Member (for example, 1_1)

  • A comma-separated list of Security Group Members (for example, 1_1,1_4)

  • A range of Security Group Members (for example, 1_1-1_4)

  • In Dual Chassis, one Chassis (chassis1, or chassis2)

  • In Dual Chassis, the Active Chassis (chassis_active)

-d

Only deactivates any active SOL session.

-f

Forces an SOL session.

Deactivates any active session.

-k

Keeps the session alive.

The session does not break after 60 seconds.

~.

Terminates the connection.

SOL Limitations

  • Supported on SGM400 only.

  • Supported only internally within the Chassis.

  • Can initiate one SOL session simultaneously to each SGM.

  • When SOL is active, no input from the RJ-45 console front panel is available. Only output is available.

  • Must have connectivity to one SGM in the Chassis (SSH/Console).
