10. Press F3 until you return to the Network Interfaces/Protocols window, and then
Configuring network protocols
With the network protocols options, you can perform the following functions:
v Configure Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
v Configure Domain Name System (DNS)
v Configure Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
Configuring SNMP
You can query the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent to collect
the "sysgroup" information and to send configured SNMP alerts to the configured
host names or IP addresses.
Note: If you plan to configure SNMP traps on the Remote Supervisor Adapter, you
Complete the following steps to configure your SNMP:
7. In the Remote IP Address field, enter 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
8. In the Subnet Mask field, enter the subnet mask that will be used by the
Remote Supervisor Adapter. 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
9. 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.
v The CHAP Only setting uses a three-way handshake procedure to validate
the identity of the originator of a connection upon connection at any time
later. The challenge handshake authentication protocol (CHAP) is stronger
than the PAP protocol and protects against playback and trial-and-error
attacks.
v The CHAP then PAP setting tries to authenticate using CHAP first. If the
originator of the connection does not support CHAP, PAP is tried as a
secondary authentication protocol. The CHAP then PAP setting is the
default.
select the Restart ASM option.
must install and compile the two management information bases (MIBs) on
your SNMP manager. One MIB supports SNMP traps and the other MIB
supports the Get, GetNext, and Set request and response operations. You
can install the MIBs that are provided in the MIB directory on the IBM
Remote Supervisor Adapter Support CD that comes with the Remote
Supervisor Adapter or you can go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/.
