Parameters debug enabled|disabled|on|off

Optional. Enables or disables debug capabilities, including Telnet debug ports and privileged diagnostic user IDs. This is disabled by default. You cannot enable this mechanism if LDAP is enabled.

For security, attempting to enable this parameter causes the controller to create a challenge message. The challenge message includes the controller serial number and a challenge string. You must email the challenge message to technical support for authorization. If authorization is granted, a response message is returned. The response message is a password string that expires 5 minutes after it is generated and can be used only one time. Use the debug-response parameter to submit the response message to the controller, which enables the debug protocol. The debug protocol remains enabled for 15 minutes to allow you to log in to a debug port. Login sessions started during that time will remain open indefinitely until logout or a system restart.

NOTE:Properly shut down the debug console by entering the command set protocols debug disabled. Do not just close the console directly or by using the exit command.
debug-response <response-message>

Optional. Submits the content of the debug authorization response message, received after successful use of the debug parameter, to the controller to enable the debug protocol.

ftp enabled|disabled|on|off

Optional. Enables or disables File Transfer Protocol (FTP), an interface for installing firmware updates, installing security certificates and keys, and downloading logs. This is by default. Using SFTP is preferred. You cannot enable this mechanism if LDAP is enabled.

http enabled|disabled|on|off

Optional. Enables or disables the standard PowerVault Manager web server. This is disabled by default. You cannot enable this mechanism if LDAP is enabled.

https enabled|disabled|on|off

Optional. Enables or disables the secure PowerVault Manager web server. This is enabled by default.

[sftp enabled|disabled|on|off]

Optional. Enables or disables SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), a secure interface for installing firmware updates, installing security certificates and keys and downloading logs. All data sent between the client and server will be encrypted. This is enabled by default.

To set the port numbers to use for SFTP and SSH, set the sftp-port and ssh-port parameters, respectively. The port numbers must differ

[sftp-port <port>]

Optional. Specifies the port number to use for SFTP. The default is 1022.

[slp enabled|disabled|on|off]

Optional. Enables or disables the Service Location Protocol (SLP) interface. SLP is a discovery protocol that enables computers and other devices to find services in a LAN without prior configuration. This system uses SLP v2. This is enabled by default.

[snmp enabled|disabled|on|off]

Optional. Enables or disables the Simple Network Management Protocol interface. Disabling this option disables all SNMP requests to the MIB and disables SNMP traps. To configure SNMP traps use the set snmp-parameters command. This is disabled by default.

[ssh enabled|disabled|on|off]

Optional. Enables or disables the secure shell CLI. This is enabled by default.

[ssh-port <port>]

Optional. Specifies the port number to use for SSH. The default is 22.

[telnet enabled|disabled|on|off]

Optional. Enables or disables the standard CLI. This is disabled by default. You cannot enable this mechanism if LDAP is enabled.
