IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter User Manual page 43

Note: If you enable the PPP interface, the Remote Supervisor Adapter cannot use
the serial port for serial remote access.
Complete the following steps to configure PPP access over a serial port:
1. Log in to the Remote Supervisor Adapter where you want to configure PPP
access over a serial port. For more information, see Chapter 2, "Opening and
using the ASM Web interface" on page 3.
2. In the navigation pane, click Network Interfaces. Scroll down to the PPP over
Serial Port section.
Note: The values in the following window are examples. Your settings will be
different.
3. In the Interface field, select Enabled.
4. In the Local IP address field, type the local IP address for the PPP interface on
this Remote Supervisor Adapter. The field defaults to 192.96.1.1. The IP
address must contain:
v Four integers from 0 through 255 separated by periods
v No spaces
5. In the Remote IP address field, type the remote IP address that this Remote
Supervisor Adapter will assign to a remote user. The field defaults to 192.96.1.2.
The remote IP address must contain:
v Four integers from 0 through 255 separated by periods
v No spaces
6. In the Subnet mask field, type the subnet mask for the Remote Supervisor
Adapter to use. The default is 255.255.255.255. The subnet mask must contain:
v Four integers from 0 through 255 separated by periods
v No spaces
7. In the Authentication field, specify the type of authentication protocol that will
be negotiated when a PPP connection is attempted.
v The PAP Only setting uses a two-way handshake procedure to validate the
identity of the originator of the connection. The weak privileged access
protection (PAP) authentication protocol is necessary if a plain text password
must be available to simulate a login at a remote host.
