Planning Access to Connected Devices

Planning should include the following steps:

•	Create a list of servers and other devices to connect to each port.

•	If devices are going to be plugged into outlets on connected IPDUs, make a note of the outlets where the devices will be plugged (you need to supply the outlet numbers when configuring power management).

•	Create a list of user accounts with the access each user needs to which ports and to which IPDU outlets.

•	Obtain usernames and passwords for connected devices to give to the users of connected devices.

•	Create meaningful aliases to assign to port numbers to identify the devices to be connected
