By default, the security level on the system is set to No Security. This allows all ports to remain open. The administrator can choose the level of security desired on a particular system. Security levels can be set by selecting Settings > Clients, Networking, and Notifications > Ports and are categorized as:
• | No Security |
• | Low Security |
• | Medium Security |
• | High Security |
When using medium security, access the Administrator Interface by entering https://<System_IP_Address>/recoveryconsole/ as the browser address.
Access context-sensitive help by directing the browser to
https://<System_IP_Address>/recoveryconsole/help/main_menu.html.
Answer yes to any warning messages received.
When high security is enabled, the system can only be accessed using a KVM or directly attached monitor, keyboard, and mouse for physical systems, or from the VM console for virtual systems. You have access to the system console only. There is no way to access the Administrator Interface to view functions (such as backups, archives, replication) or make changes to any system settings.
