Software Configuration

The Management application allows you to configure the following software settings:

•Client/Server IP — IP configuration settings.

•IP preferences — IP settings specific to IP product managemental.

•Memory allocation settings — Memory allocation for the client and server.

•Product communication settings — Connections between the server and SAN switches or IP products.

•FTP/SCP/SFTP server settings — Internal or external FTP or SCP server settings.

•Server port settings — Server port settings.

•Support mode settings — Support settings to allow enhanced diagnostics.

Client/Server IP

You can configure connections between the client or switches and the Management application server.

Configuring the server IP address

If your Operating System is IPv4-enabled or IPv6-enabled (running in dual mode), the server binds using an IPv4 address. IPv6 only mode does not support server to client communication (the IPv6 address cannot be bound to the server).

NOTE

If the Management server or client has multiple Network Interface Cards and if any of these interfaces are not plugged in, you must disable them; otherwise, the following features do not work properly:

Server impact

•Configuration wizard (does not display all IP addresses)

•Trap and Syslog auto registration

•Report content (Ipconfiguration element does not display all server IP addresses)

•Network OS configuration backup through FTP

•Trace dump through FTP

Client impact

•Options dialog box (does not display all IP addresses)

•Firmware import and download dialog box
