Lighthouse Enrollment

CONFIGURE > Lighthouse Enrollment

Opengear appliances can be enrolled into a Lighthouse instance, providing centralized access to console ports, automation, and central configuration of Opengear devices.

Lighthouse central management uses a persistent, public key authenticated SSH tunnels to maintain connectivity to managed console servers.

All network communications between Lighthouse and each console server (e.g. access to the web UI), and the console server's managed devices (e.g. the serial consoles of network equipment), is tunneled through this SSH management tunnel.
