New in RMOS v4.0:
Expanded Out-of-the-Box Support

 

Securely access and remotely manage a wide range of remote infrastructure without the need for custom drivers

Uplogix appliances manage heterogeneous devices (i.e. routers, switches, firewalls, intrusion prevention systems, WAN accelerators, GPS, satellite modems, and servers) through Native (out-of-the-box) support for IP devices.  RMOS v4.0 features expanded support for single command-and-response actions removing the requirement of custom device drivers to control a wide variety of infrastructure devices. This capability gives enterprise IT staff an automated approach that console vendors and software-only network and systems management (NSM) solutions fail to deliver.

Uplogix ARM appliances offer two approaches for management of devices: Native and Advanced to manage any IP device with a command line interface (CLI). With new login/logout capability, RMOS v4.0 increases security through an authentication process that includes session management to automatically log out of the device if a user does not log out after a configurable period of time.

Other key features available in Native support include the following:

• Secure console server access (SSH V2) to devices, and authentication, authorization and audit of each device connected to the Uplogix appliance
• Buffers to capture messages from the console port of each managed device, allowing an admin to view the raw, unformatted messages for troubleshooting
• Integration with power controllers to cycle power and shut down devices remotely
• Survivable connectivity through in-band and out-of-band options for access to devices even when the network is down
• Local storage and access for config and OS files on the Uplogix appliance for easy transfer to managed devices
• Ability to run monitors at user-defined intervals on the device’s state or connection state
• A browser for Ethernet-managed devices with web-based management interfaces
