Enable multi-homed support

The Brocade SMI Agent supports multi-homed hosts; that is, hosts configured with multiple IPs. This means that you can configure which IP address the SMI Agent should use for Event and ARR registration on the switch.

Configuring IP address for switch-to-SMIAgent communication in multi-homed systems

1. Edit the SMIAgentConfig.xml file found at .../server/jserver/bin with the following entry:

<host address="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"/>

For example,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE agent_config SYSTEM "SMIAgentConfig.dtd"> <agent_config>

<dbserver driver="" is_password_encrypted="" password="" url="" username=""/>

<port_config arr="5400" eventing="123"/> <secureport_config arr="876" eventing="1"/> <host address="10.201.64.173"/> </agent_config>

2. Restart the Brocade SMI Agent.

Configuring IP address for SMI Agent client to server communication in multi-homed systems

1. Edit the jserver.properties file found at …server/jserver/bin with the following entry:

HostIPAddress=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

2. Restart the Brocade SMI Agent.
