IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II Network Card User Manual


 
For example, to log in to the IBM Global Network
®
, the PPP login ID is
in the following format: secureip.y.z where y is your account name and
z is your user ID.
11. In the PPP password field, type the password that is used to log in to the ISP.
This field is required only for E-mail over PPP and SNMP over PPP notification
methods.
12. Click Save to save your remote alert recipient profile. Repeat step 2 on page
23 through step 24 for each remote alert recipient profile.
13. Click Generate Test Alert on the Remote Alert Recipients page to send a test
alert to all configured remote alert recipients.
Note:
All selected alert events are sent to all configured remote alert recipients.
Forwarding alerts
Note: For the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine, the forwarding alerts feature
is not available.
The Alert Forwarding setting applies only to alerts that are forwarded from
integrated system management processors (ISMPs) on an ASM interconnect
network. The ISMPs on the network forward alerts only to the Remote Supervisor
Adapter or Remote Supervisor Adapter II that is designated as the gateway. The
gateway adapter then forwards the alerts through an Ethernet connection on the
network to the alert recipients. A Remote Supervisor Adapter II is a gateway to the
interconnect network if one of the following circumstances is true:
v On the Alerts Forwarding page, you click Make this ASM the Gateway.
v The Remote Supervisor Adapters and Remote Supervisor Adapter IIs on the
network negotiate and designate the adapter to be the gateway. This occurs if
you do not configure one of the Remote Supervisor Adapters or Remote
Supervisor Adapter IIs on the network to be the gateway.
Notes:
1. There must be at least one Remote Supervisor Adapter or Remote Supervisor
Adapter II on the interconnect network for ISMP alerts to be forwarded. At any
time, only one Remote Supervisor Adapter or Remote Supervisor Adapter II can
be the gateway on an interconnect network.
2. When Remote Supervisor Adapters and Remote Supervisor Adapter IIs are on
the interconnect network, a Remote Supervisor Adapter II should be configured
as the gateway.
3. When a user configures a Remote Supervisor Adapter or Remote Supervisor
Adapter II to be the gateway, any existing gateway (user-defined or negotiated)
ceases to be the gateway.
4. The remote alert recipients and monitored alerts for the ISMPs on the
interconnect network must be configured on the gateway Remote Supervisor
Adapter or Remote Supervisor Adapter II; otherwise, the alerts will not be
forwarded.
5. In the event of a gateway adapter failure, a new gateway is automatically
negotiated. To enable alerts to be forwarded by the negotiated gateway, you
must also configure the remote alert recipients and monitored alerts on Remote
Supervisor Adapters and Remote Supervisor Adapter IIs that are potential
gateways.
