Terminal Server Support

As an alternate means to IP connectivity, the OS Provisioning Plug-In supports the use of the following terminal server or concentrator types to connect to the Network Management controllers.

Cisco Terminal Server 2621 series

For product information, see http://www.cisco.com.
Cyclades Alterpath ACS Terminal Server series

For product information, see http://www.cyclades.com.

The OS Provisioning Plug-In supports the telnet protocol (for Cisco Terminal Server 2621) and SSH protocol (for Cyclades Alterpath ACS Terminal Server) as the access protocols for these terminal servers/concentrators. See the vendor specific documentation for the technical specifications and setup instructions for these terminal servers.

In the OS Provisioning Plug-In, the Cisco 2621 is the default terminal server binding for the server network management controllers. To use the Cyclades Alterpath ACS terminal server, edit the appropriate terminal server variables for your target hosts. Table 9–2 lists the terminal server variables and the values for both the Cisco 2621 and Cyclades Alterpath ACS terminal servers.
