Config Panel (2.40) - Guntermann und Drunck GmbH

Network functions of the devices
Network functions of the devices
The different devices within the KVM system (e.g. extenders and matrix switches)
provide separate network functions.
The following function can be configured for each of the devices within the KVM
system:
Authentication against directory services (LDAP, Active Directory, RADIUS,
TACACS+)
Time synchronisation via NTP server
Forwarding of log messages to syslog servers
Creating and administering netfilter rules
In the default settings of the devices, all network computers have access to the
Config Panel web application (open system access).
NOTE: The open system access enables unrestricted connections via the following
ports: 80/TCP (HTTP), 443/TCP (HTTPS) and 161/UDP (SNMP).
When a netfilter rule is created, the open system access is deactivated and all incoming
data packets are compared to the netfilter rules. The list of the netfilter rules is
hereby processed according to the stored order. As soon as a rule does apply, it is
carried out and the following rules are ignored.
Creating a new netfilter rule
How to create a new netfilter rule:
1. Use the tree view to click on KVM switches > [All switches].
2. Right-click the device to be configured. Now, click the Configuration entry in the
context menu.
3. Click the Network tab.
4. Click the Netfilter tab and enter the data described on the following page.
Interface: Use the pull-down menu to select on which network interfaces
the data packets are to be trapped and manipulated:
All
Interface A
