IPv6 and Sentry Products

Server Technology is introducing IPv6 “dual stack” support to the Sentry product line. IPv6 has been designed to succeed IPv4 as the dominant communications protocol for internet traffic, to avoid depletions of the IPv4 address space, and to allow more IP address growth. Many devices already in use support IPv6.
IPv6 has several new operational methods:
Static IPv6 Address: The IPv6 equivalent of Static IPv4. DHCPv6 Address: The IPv6 equivalent of a DHCP IPv4 address, also known as a “stateful” auto-
configuration of DHCPv6.
IPv6 Stateless Auto-Configured Address – (RFC 4862): An automatically-generated unique link-local IPv6
address used for client based configurations. This address is always present in the Server Technology dual stack and cannot be disabled.
DHCPv6 Stateless Auto-Configured Address – (RFC 3736): A “stateless” Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) service for IPv6 (DHCPv6). This address is used by nodes to obtain configuration information, such as addresses of DNS recursive name servers that do not require the maintenance of any dynamic state for individual clients.

Sentry Firmware – Protocol Support

IPv6 and IPv4 Protocols:
The Sentry firmware supports the following network IPv6 and IPv4 protocols:
DNS Ping FTP Server SNMPv1/2/3 FTP Updates SNTP HTTP HTTPS SMTP Static IPv6 DHCPv6 (stateless and stateful) Syslog SNMPv1/2/3 Traps Telnet SSH
IPv4-Only Protocols:
The firmware supports the following network IPv4-only protocols:
Cisco EnergyWise LDAP Load Shedding * RADIUS * TACACS+
* = may work with IPv6 addresses, but not tested.
-48 VDC Remote Power Manager Introduction 17 Installation and Operations Manual
Page 18

Network-Enabled Modes

NOTES:
For all network-enabled modes described below, the unit will set an auto-configured IPv6 address, and if IPv6 router announcements are active, a stateless DHCP IPv6 address will also be set. Further, in all network-enabled modes, at least one IPv4 or one IPv6 address will be active.
For maximum backward compatibility, the default network mode is “IPv4 only”.
Network disabled – No IPv4 or IPv6 addresses available. IPv4 only, DHCP disabled (static IPv4) – If the IPv4 Static Address and Net Mask of the unit are valid, they
will be set.
IPv4 only, DHCP enabled (DHCP IPv4) – The unit will try to resolve an IPv4 DHCP address. If a DHCP
address cannot be obtained after 90 seconds, the unit can: (1) optionally fall back to its static IPv4 settings, or (2) indefinitely wait to acquire an address based on DHCP configuration settings. This setting is the
default.
Dual IPv6/IPv4, DHCP disabled (static IPv6/IPv4) – If the IPv6 Static Address and prefix of the unit are valid,
they will be set. Otherwise, the unit will attempt to use DHCPv6 to obtain an IPv6 address. In addition, if the IPv4 Static Address and Net Mask of the unit are valid, they will be set.
Dual IPv6/IPv4, DHCP enabled (DHCP IPv6/IPv4) – The unit will try to resolve both its IPv6 and IPv4
addresses by DHCP. If both DHCP requests are answered, the primary DNS server of the unit will become the primary IPv6 DNS server, and the secondary DNS server of the unit will become the primary IPv4 DNS server.
If only one of the DHCP requests is answered, the DNS servers of the unit will map to the primary and secondary DNS server from that request.
If a DHCP address cannot be obtained after 90 seconds, the unit can: (1) optionally fall back to its static IPv4 and/or IPv6 settings, or (2) indefinitely wait to acquire an address based on DHCP configuration settings.

Interfaces

The -48 VDC Remote Power Manager has two interfaces: the Web interface accessed by the HTTP enabled Ethernet connections, and the Command Line Interface (CLI) for serial and Telnet connections.

Outlet Naming and Grouping

For commands requiring an outlet name, you can specify it in one of two ways: a predefined absolute name or a descriptive name assigned by an administrator.
For units with multiple infeed connectors, absolute names are specified by a period (.) followed by the tower letter, the infeed letter and outlet number.
Example: The absolute name for outlet 8 on the B infeed of tower A is .AB8. Outlets can also be included in one or more named groups of outlets, allowing you to issue a command that affects all
outlets in a named group.

Usernames and Passwords

The -48 VDC Remote Power Manager has one predefined administrative user account (username/password: admn/admn), and supports a maximum of 112 defined user accounts.
NOTE: For security, Server Technology recommends removal of the predefined administrative user account after a new account with administrative rights has been created.
Only an administrative-level user can perform operations such as creating/removing user accounts and command access, changing passwords and displaying user information. An administrator can also view the status of all sensors and power inputs.
Usernames can contain from 1-16 characters and are not case sensitive; spaces are not allowed. Passwords can contain up to 16 characters, and are case sensitive.
26 Operations -48 VDC Remote Power Manager Installation and Operations Manual
Page 27

Web Interface

The Web Interface provides web-based access to the Sentry firmware. The interface is designed with three major sections, illustrated below.
1. System Header: Shows the CDU description and location, IP address, and user/access.
2. Navigation Bar: Provides access to CDU configuration, control action, or status page.
3. Details Window: Current control/status information based on the page selected from the navigation bar.
NOTE: The blinking of the CDU location string (IP address) in the System Header section may not work with all web browsers.
This example shows the Outlet Control > Individual page:
Figure 2. Example of Firmware Web Interface for the -48 VDC Remote Power Manager

Logging In

Logging in through the Web interface requires directing the Web client to the configured IP address of the unit.
To log in by Web Interface:
In the login window, enter a valid username and password and press OK. If you enter an invalid username or password, you will be prompted again. You are given three attempts to enter a valid username and password combination. If all three fail, the session ends and
a protected page will be displayed.
NOTE: The default username/password is admn/admn. There is no “i” in admn.
-48 VDC Remote Power Manager Operations 27 Installation and Operations Manual

System Summary

The System > Summary page is typically displayed as the default page at user login to the firmware Web interface. The System Summary page contains general temperature and humidity status information. The color-coded sensor
graphs shown in the example provide a real-time view for monitoring environmental conditions in your device network.
Figure 3. Example of System Summary Page for the -48 VDC Remote Power Manager
NOTE: The -48 VDC products do not have information on total power or input feed line status. The DC products also do not measure
voltage (for watt calculation).
The System Summary page for the -48 VDC unit displays precise thermal and humidity readings and dynamic updates without a full page refresh.
As long as the System Summary page is active, the sensor graphs are continually updating system statistics and threshold values. The data with the most impact on the system is displayed to reduce your analysis and troubleshooting time. If a sudden operating condition affects the network, you can quickly correct the unit.
NOTE: Because the System Summary page continually requests updated status information from the unit, the page does not time-out. You will need to navigate to another page or manually log off.
System Information
Uptime: Displays the cumulative time the unit has been up and running since the last unit restarted. Uptime shows continuous, real-time system updates with an approximate 5-second automatic refresh. A manual refresh of the System Summary page is not required.
Firmware Version: Shows the current Sentry firmware version. Ethernet NIC S/N: Displays the CDU serial number derived from the Ethernet NIC. Active Users: Displays the number of active user sessions accessing the firmware. These sessions include serial,
TELNET, SSH, and Web sessions. Active Users also shows sessions that an unauthorized user can be attempting to access. The number shown in Active Users changes instantly as the number of active user sessions change. A total of 4 concurrent web user sessions are allowed (HTTP or HTTPS).
NOTE: Depending on your web browser, multiple web accesses from the same machine are often treated as one user.
Temperature Status
The Temperature Status graph displays a blinking error whenever temperature exceeds the low or high threshold. The CDU will continue to display this state until the condition changes or the problem has been resolved.
For the temperature sensor, the default range of low/high temperature values is 5º-45º C (41º-115º F). Up to four sets of dual temperature/humidity sensors can be displayed in this graph for a total of eight possible
temperature sensor graphs. A thin blue line separates each set based on the tower or environmental monitor.
NOTE: The temperature threshold values are user-defined. You must configure these threshold values on the SNMP/Thresholds page or the Command Line Interface (CLI).
28 Operations -48 VDC Remote Power Manager Installation and Operations Manual
Page 29
Humidity Status
The Humidity Status graph displays a blinking error whenever humidity exceeds the low or high threshold. The CDU will continue to display this state until the condition changes or the problem has been resolved.
For the humidity sensor, the default range of low/high humidity percentage is 0-100% (relative humidity). Up to four sets of dual temperature/humidity sensors can be displayed in this graph for a total of eight possible
humidity sensor graphs. A thin blue line separates each set based on the tower or environmental monitor.
NOTE: The humidity threshold values are user-defined. You must configure these threshold values on the SNMP/Thresholds page or the Command Line Interface (CLI).
Field Descriptions
The following fields and icons are viewed left to right for Line Status, Temperature Status, and Humidity Status:
Icon: Provides quick viewing of current operational state: Information , Warning and Critical . ID: Device input feed or sensor identifier. Name: Descriptive, user-defined name for each input infeed or sensor. Load, Temp, Humidity: Current state of the reported input load (in amps), current temperature, or current percentage
of relative humidity. Low Limit: Displays the user-defined low limit of the load, temperature, or humidity graph. These values depend on
the sensor limited and cannot be set by the user. For example, a 0ºC low limit would be displayed as for a temperature sensor graph in Celsius.
Sensor Graph and Level Indicator: The horizontal sensor graph shows current operating conditions in color-coded segments. See the section below, “Sensor Graph Color Coding” for details. The level indicator appears across the
graph to indicate the relative position of the current data value with respect to the minimum (low limit) and maximum (high limit) values displayed at the left and right of the graph.
High Limit: Displays the high limit of the load, temperature, or humidity graph. These values depend on the sensor limits are cannot be set by the user. For example, a 100ºC high limit would be displayed as for a temperature
sensor graph in Celsius. Status: One of several operating conditions:

Setting the Fully-Qualified Domain Name (FQDN):
To enable the FQDN, check the Enable checkbox and accept the default name “sentry3-521384” (or type a different name). To disable the FQDN, uncheck the checkbox. Click Apply.
Enabling the DHCP boot delay:
To enable the boot delay, check the Enable checkbox. To disable the boot delay, uncheck (clear) the checkbox. Enabling the Boot Delay option gives the CDU approximately 100-seconds to establish a connection through a DHCP
server. This interval allows various network component activities to occur as the CDU powers up (such as obtaining SNTP time stamps for logging). This is the default state.
Disabling the Boot Delay option forces the CDU to boot after approximately 5-seconds regardless of the DHCP acquisition state. This speeds up a boot when a DHCP server is connected to one of the outlets in the CDU. In this configuration, SNMP traps, SNTP, and other protocols will not be available until a DHCP address has been resolved.
NOTES:
The Boot Delay option executes only when DHCP is enabled. The firmware can detect network link integrity and will wait for network connection. This means that if the network is not currently
connected, the enabled Boot Delay option will be ignored.
Enabling static address fallback:
NOTE: The Static Address Fallback option executes only when DHCP is enabled.
To enable static address fallback, check the Enable checkbox. To disable, uncheck (clear) the checkbox. Click Apply. Enabling the Static Address Fallback option informs the CDU to automatically fall back to a static address if a DHCP
server does not respond after 100-seconds. This is the default state. Disabling the Static Address Fallback option generates DHCP server requests until the CDU obtains a dynamic
address.
NOTE: If the DHCP server boot time is excessive, you can need to disable the Static Address Fallback option.

Changing the Telnet or SSH server port number:
In the appropriate Port field, enter the port number and click Apply.
Enabling or disabling SSH server authentication methods:
The SSH server supports two authentication methods for security and validation: Password and Keyboard-Interactive. Password is a method where the SSH client gathers username/password credentials and makes the authentication request to
the SSH sever with the credentials. The Password method is controlled by the SSH client. Keyboard-Interactive is an authentication method where the SSH server controls an information field followed by one or
more prompts requesting credential information from the SSH client. The client gathers credential information keyed-in by the user and sends it back to the server. The Keyboard-Interactive method is controlled by the SSH server.
Individual enabling and disabling of the Password and Keyboard-Interactive authentication methods are supported to allow an SSH client to be forced to use a specific method. Although both methods are available, by enabling the Keyboard­Interactive method and disabling the Password method, the SSH client is forced to used Keyboard-Interactive, which is required to display the login banner.
NOTE: At least one authentication method must be enabled.

NOTE: The SPM options apply only if you are currently using Server Technology’s SPM software.
SPM Secure Access:
If your operation does not currently use SPM software, you can disable SPM Secure Access. However, if disabled, the CDU will not be able to use the SPM suite of secure network capabilities or the advanced remote configuration.
Select Enabled or Disabled from the SPM Secure Access drop-down menu and click Apply.
NOTE: Both HTTP and SSL must be enabled or the SPM Secure Access option will not be permitted. When SPM Secure Access is permitted, the default is Enabled.
SPM Password:
Each CDU has a default unique SPM password that communicates between SPM and the CDU. When SPM discovers a CDU in the network, SPM changes this password into a different unique password for added security. The SPM then continues to manage or alter these passwords as required for system security.
If a CDU is relocated or swapped from the system after a password was generated, SPM may not be able to re­establish a connection to the unit. The Set SPM Reset Password command allows you to reset to the internal default password of the CDU so SPM can re-discover the device and add it to the system. Once the unit has been acquired by SPM, no further action is necessary.
To reset the password, check SPM Password and click Apply.
NOTE: Do not reset the password if SPM communication has already been established.

Command Line Interface

IMPORTANT: The Command Line Interface (CLI) was modified to allow both IPv4 and IPv6 settings.

Logging In

Logging in through Telnet requires directing the Telnet client to the configured IP address of the unit. Logging in through the Console (RS232) port requires the use of a terminal or terminal emulation software configured
to support ANSI or VT100 and a supported data rate (300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200 BPS) - 8 data bits-no parity-one stop bit and Device Ready output signal (DTR or DSR).
Logging in by RS-232 or Telnet:
1. Press Enter. The following appears, where x.xx is the firmware version:
Sentry Switched -48 VDC Version x.xx
Username:
NOTE: Logging in by Telnet will automatically open a session. It is not necessary to press Enter.
2. At the Username: and Password: prompts, enter a valid username and password. And press Enter.
You are given three attempts to enter a valid username and password combination. If all three fail, the session ends.
NOTE: The default username/password is admn/admn.
When you enter a valid username and password, the command prompt -48 VDC: displays. If a location identifier was defined, it will be displayed before the prompt.
Creating a pre-login banner:
The Set Banner command specifies text that appears prior to the login authentication. This feature allows administrators to configure a message up to 2069 characters for display of legal, disclaimer, or other text as required by application. If left blank, the login prompt will display.
NOTES: For SSH sessions only:
The “keyboard-interactive” authentication method must be used for the banner to display.  Banner length is truncated to 1500 bytes in SSH packets to avoid failure of SSH connection when configured with a long
login banner.
To create a pre-login banner:
At the Switched Switched -48 VDC: prompt, type set banner and press Enter. Type the desired pre-login banner text. When finished, press Ctrl-z.

To enable or disable DHCP support:
At the Switched -48 VDC: prompt, type set dhcp, followed by enabled or disabled, and press Enter.
Enabling or disabling DHCP boot delay:
The Set DHCP Boot Delay command enables or disables the DHCP boot delay option. Enabling the Boot Delay option gives the CDU approximately 100-seconds to establish a connection through a DHCP
server This interval allows various network component activities to occur as the CDU powers up (such as obtaining SNTP time stamps for logging or allowing SNMP traps to be sent as switched outlets power up). This is the default state.
Disabling the Boot Delay option forces the CDU to boot after approximately 5-seconds regardless of the DHCP acquisition state. This speeds up a boot when a DHCP server is connected to one of the CDU’s outlets. In this configuration, SNMP traps, SNTP and other protocols will not be available until a DHCP address has been resolved.
To enable the boot delay:
At the Switched -48 VDC: prompt, type set dhcp, followed by bootdelay, followed by enabled or disabled, and press Enter.
NOTES:
The Boot Delay option executes only when DHCP is enabled. The firmware can detect network link integrity and will wait for network connection. This means that if the network is not currently
connected, the enabled Boot Delay option will be ignored.
Enabling or disabling DHCP static address fallback:
NOTE: DHCP must be enabled to activate the DHCP Static Address Fallback option.
The Set DHCP Static Address Fallback command enables or disables the DHCP static address fallback option. Enabling the Static Address Fallback option informs the CDU to automatically fall back to a static address if a DHCP
server does not respond after 100-seconds. This is the default state. Disabling the Static Address Fallback option generates periodic DHCP server requests until the CDU obtains a
dynamic address.
To enable the static address fallback:
At the Switched -48 VDC: prompt, type set dhcp, followed by staticfallback, followed by enabled or disabled, and press Enter.
NOTE: If the DHCP server boot time is excessive, you can need to disable the DHCP Static Address Fallback option.
Setting the network acquisition method:
The Set Net command determines the acquisition method used for the protocol stack and IPv4/IPv6 address. For a detailed description of the Disabled, IPv4 only, and Dualv6v4 options, see Network-Enabled Modes. At the Switched -48 VDC prompt: type set net; followed by disabled, ipv4only, or dualv6v4; and press Enter.

NOTE: Both HTTP and SSL must be enabled or the SPM Secure Access option will not be permitted. When SPM Secure Access is
permitted, the default is Enabled.
Resetting the SPM Password:
The Set SPM Reset Password command resets the SPM password on the CDU to its internal default password. Each CDU has a default unique SPM password used to communicate between SPM and the CDU. When SPM
discovers a CDU in the network, SPM changes this password into a different unique password for added security. The SPM then continues to manage or alter these passwords as required for system security.
If a CDU is relocated or swapped from the system after a password was generated, SPM cannot be able to re-establish a connection to the unit. The Set SPM Reset Password command allows you to reset to the internal default password of the CDU so SPM can re-discover the device and add it to the system. Once the unit has been acquired by SPM, no further action is necessary.
To reset the SPM password:
At the Switched -48 VDC: prompt, type set spm, followed by resetpw and press Enter.
NOTE: Do not reset the password if SPM communication has already been established.
