The SNMP Plug-in has an emergency mode called "Standalone Mode", which allows a direct, local access to the plug-in's management web interface in the unlikely event of Vista Manager EX failing.

Note

To enable Standalone Mode, you have to create a public key during the installation process.

Note

When Standalone Mode is enabled, it is possible for a user to login to the server and configure any aspect of the AWC Plug-in without entering a password. We recommend only enabling Standalone Mode in an emergency.

Enable Standalone Mode

1. Log on to your PC (a remote system) as a user with Administrator rights.
   
   
2. Open [Vista Manager EX Installation Directory]\Plugins\AT-SNMP\NetManager\tools\modechange folder with Windows Explorer and create a copy of a public key file.
   

   Note

   If you selected "Create public key" during the installation process, "public-key.pem" was created in the following folder:
   
   C:\Users\ [USERNAME] \Documents\Allied Telesis\AT-Vista Manager EX\certs\public-key.pem
   
   This public key file allows you to access all the functionality of the AWC Plug-in and SNMP Plug-in without entering an administrator password. Take extreme care to store the public key file securely by setting appropriate access permissions.

   
   
3. Open a command prompt window as an administrator.
   
   
4. Run the following command on the command prompt window.
   
   

   cd [Vista Manager EX Installation Directory]\Plugins\AT-SNMP\NetManager\tools\modechange .\modechange standalone [Vista Manager EX Installation Directory]\Plugins\AT-SNMP\NetManager\tools\modechange\public-key.pem

Standalone Mode has been enabled.

Access Management Screen in Standalone Mode

1. Open a web browser.
   
   
2. Enter the URL of the SNMP Plug-in server (https://localhost:6443/NetManager/web2) and press Enter.
   
   
3. After successful login, the main screen of the SNMP Plug-in will appear.
   

Disable Standalone Mode
