a.
Create and save a system task that uses:
•
Set as its request type.
•init.startService_msi=yes&mib.save=1&mng.reboot=1
as its request string.
b.
Schedule and deploy the system task to run on your DMP 4310G or 4400G.
The request string includes a command to restart your DMP.
Restrictions
Non-Medianet Autoregistration
•
DMM-native autoregistration does not use any Medianet technologies. It uses NMAP
(CSCtk02451).
DHCP
•
As of May 2011, these DHCP servers have passed our tests for using Medianet with DMPs.
–
Linux ISC dhcpd
–
The DHCP implementation in Windows Server 2003
–
The DHCP implementation in Windows Server 2008
–
Cisco Network Registrar
Note THIS RELEASE DOES NOT SUPPORT ANY DHCP SERVER THAT RUNS ON A CISCO ROUTER OR SWITCH.
Login Credentials
•
All DMPs that you manage centrally in DMM must share one identical set of DMPDM
login credentials.
Medianet
•
A DMP 4310G might come to use the wrong IP addr ess when it relies upon a Medianet switch where
more than one VLAN uses DHCP. For the switch to bungle IPaddress assignment in this way,
temporary conditions that do not sever the DMP’s AC power connection must nonetheless interrupt
its network connection through the switch. (Thus, this problem cannot possibly occur while the
DMP uses PoE.) Specifically, the Medianet switch assigns its default VLAN to your DMP. But
then—after your D MP’s network connection is interrupted and restored— your Medianet switch
assigns to your DMP a dynamic IP address from another VLAN on this same sw itch. The mismatch
disrupts centralized management of your DMP.
