Abstract
A keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) switch can provide localized access to a group of servers. An
intelligent KVM switch such as the HP IP Console Switch can provide system administrators centralized
management over a number of networked servers. This paper describes how the directory services
option available for the HP IP Console Switch allows administrators to use Microsoft® Active Directory
for more efficient switch management.
Introduction
The HP IP Console Switch provides KVM access and intelligent management functionality for a group
of servers. Using an OnScreen Display (OSD) interface included in the switch firmware and HP IP
Console Viewer software for remote console operation, a switch user can access and control a server
connected directly or tiered through another switch or a port expansion module. Access to a
particular server is controlled through the database of user accounts for the switch. The database
specifies user IDs, passwords, and access rights. The database is maintained by and contained within
the switch.

Two types of switch users are recognized:
• Basic switch user – Has access to specific servers/ports, but cannot change switch user rights.
• Admin switch user – Has complete control of switch and access to all servers/ports, running either a
Microsoft®Windows® or Linux® operating system.
Since adding, changing, or deleting a switch user requires modifying the user database of each
affected switch, the standard administrative functionality of the HP IP Console Switch is best suited for
small-to-medium size networks where the number of switches and switch users is relatively small.
However, the high scalability of the HP IP Console Switch may lead network architects to build up a
system that requires a more efficient management solution.
