How to install Opengear CM8100 Console Server

Installing the CM8100 installs a foundation for reliable, secure, and scalable remote management. Begin by planning your deployment to ensure proper rack space, power, and network connectivity. Verify that you have the necessary serial devices and cables ready to connect to the 48 available ports, and confirm IP addressing for the management interface. Place the CM8100 in a secure, well-ventilated rack environment to maintain reliability and minimize heat buildup, which supports consistent performance during extended operations.

Step-by-step installation typically includes:

  • Connect serial devices to the CM8100’s ports according to your asset inventory, labeling each port to ease future troubleshooting.
  • Connect the management network interface to your management VLAN or dedicated out-of-band network to segregate console traffic from production data.
  • Power up the unit and access the initial configuration interface, which may be presented via a web UI or console CLI, depending on your setup.
  • Configure core settings: assign a management IP, set administrator credentials, and establish role-based access controls to enforce least-privilege access for operators, administrators, and auditors.
  • Enable and tailor security policies, including credential storage, SSH enforcement, and audit logging, to align with organizational security requirements and compliance needs.
  • Define port mapping and access policies to streamline routine maintenance tasks, automated recoveries, and escalation paths for common incidents.
  • Integrate CM8100 with your existing Opengear management stack (or your preferred NMS) to centralize alerts, logging, and remote command execution, then validate connectivity to a subset of critical devices before full rollout.
  • Test failover and remote access workflows to verify that operators can reach devices through the CM8100 even if primary paths are degraded or unavailable.
  • Document the configuration and back up the initial setup to simplify future redeployments or audits.

Ongoing maintenance is straightforward: perform firmware updates as released by Opengear to benefit from security patches, feature enhancements, and improved compatibility with newer devices. Maintain clear records of access policies and regularly review audit logs to ensure compliance with organizational standards. By following these steps, you’ll maximize uptime, security, and operational efficiency across your remote infrastructure.

An Enigma
I became interested in the life of Deng Xiaoping after reading THE TRAGEDY OF LIBERATION by Frank Dikotter and AVOIDING THE FALL by Michael Pettis. Deng is an enigma. He was a key player in the Chinese leadership from the earliest days. He was one of the core revolutionary leaders and one that was heavily involved in directing military campaigns leading to liberation. Afterward, he was the administrator for Sichuan and southwest China and implemented Maoist programs that led to mass starvation and incalculable human suffering. So, how was it possible for Deng Xiaoping to emerge as supreme leader of China, opening up the country to 4 decades of unprecedented growth? Did he learn from the failures of earlier policies? If so, what led to his change in thinking and when did it happen? Or was he always a pragmatist and a loyal follower? And if his thinking did change, how was he not one of the many leaders who were expelled from the Party and sent to prison or executed? It seems highly unlikely that a country that went through the purges, the witch hunts and the upheavals like the Cultural Revolution could have produced a leader of the stature of Deng Xiaoping capable of implementing the policy reforms that have led to China's 4 decades of unprecedented growth. These are the questions that motivated me to tackle this 800-page biography. Ezra Vogel is one of the world's pre-eminent China scholars. His knowledge of the events, people and places as well as the research of other scholars is second to none. He uses this knowledge combined with written accounts and interviews to piece together a comprehensive history of the life of Deng Xiaoping. The account is not strictly chronological. Vogel takes different periods of Deng's life and divides each period into a set of topics covered in separate chapters. This makes the explanation of the events driving each topic easier to follow but it means that the reader may lose track of contemporaneous events discussed in a previous chapter. Unfortunately, Vogel's review of the life of Deng Xiaoping has not fully answered my questions but it is not for lack of trying. Vogel points out early in the book that Deng Xiaoping did not keep a diary or personal writings or confide his inner-most thoughts on government policy with those around him. His speeches were well-organized and thought-out but without written notes. Consequently, we have no window into his thoughts; we have only his actions and events surrounding him to judge his thinking and how it changed over his life. This lack of a personal written record no doubt was a key factor in his survival of the many leadership purges under Mao Tse-tung. Another factor was his complete loyalty to the Party and to Mao. Although Deng was removed from top leadership positions three times in his career, including a 3-year exile during the Cultural Revolution, he was never expelled out of the Party. We also learn that Deng Xiaoping was, above all, a pragmatist and a patriot. His driving motivation was to do whatever necessary to foster China's economic development and re-emergence as a global leader. He was not an ideologue, although he was a skillful politician, sensitive to those who opposed his ideas and careful to find ways to test out policy reforms in isolated cases before moving toward full implementation. Deng Xiaoping is easily one of the most important leaders of the 20th century. We are indeed fortunate to have Ezra Vogel's scholarly and literary talents applied to an English biography of Deng Xiaoping. There is much we can learn from Vogel's account but even more that is left for interpretation reading between the lines.

Not so much
Format: Hardcover
I can't judge the social science merits of this study. But it's treatment of premodern Chinese history is shoddy and ill informed of the existing literature.

The Future is Now
Format: Hardcover
The author makes a compelling argument that the world is fracturing into two principal trade blocs, the U.S.A bloc and the China bloc. Even cursory review of the daily business news confirms the author's argument is taking shape now. This is an important book for those interested in geopolitics, economics, and even those who are trying to determine where to invest their funds based on changing global dynamics.

Cute book and engaging story
Format: Paperback
My grand daughter reads at a 3rd grade reading level, so doesn't want to read the easy readers but loses interest easily with traditional chapter books. This little book was a perfect fit. She's an axolotl fan so the pictures and the story line kept her engaged. There's even a couple of pages of axolotl facts at the end of the book. Well worth adding to her book shelf!
