DirectCommand on the MergePoint 5224/5240 SP Manager
As described in the MergePoint 5224/5240 Service Processor Manager User Guide,
DirectCommand allows authorized users to access native management features on connected SPs
without requiring a VPN tunnel to be created. An administrator can assign the DirectCommand
authorization to users through the Web Manager, the cli utility or DSView 3 software.
In the Web Manager, the same permission (Native IP and DirectCommand) is used to grant
DirectCommand access and to grant Native IP access. In the cli, setting either the nativeip or
directcommand parameter to yes for a device grants the user both Native IP and DirectCommand
access to the device.
CAUTION: For DirectCommand to work properly, the authentication method configured for the SP manager
must be the same as the authentication method assigned to the target device authentication setting.
Message Logging (With Syslog) on the MergePoint 5224/5240
SP
Manager
The administrator can set up logging of messages about the following types of events:
• Events of interest from the SP manager
• Events of interest obtained by filtering data during device console connections with

Messages can be sent to central logging servers, called syslog servers. Messages can also be sent to
the console or to the root user or both.
