6.2 RCCMD CLIENT RELAY
The maximum number of RCCMD Clients that can be managed by the SNMP/Web adapter is limited.
In order to reach a higher number of RCCMD Clients, one or more of these clients can be configured to
operate as relays. Basically, the RCCMD Client needs to be configured so that it will execute a batch or
script file that issues more RCCMD Shutdown commands.
The following sample batch file lets the RCCMD Client acts as a relay station:
@ECHO OFF
SET PATH=C:\RCCMD\
# RCCMD Relay
# This batch sends RCCMD Shutdown commands to the following IP addresses
rccmd –s –a 191.168.200.5
rccmd –s –a 191.168.200.6
# … the list can be continued …
# At last, force shutdown of the local machine
ExitWin.exe shutdown force
@CLS
This procedure can also be used for a low number of RCCMD servers, as it may be easier to configure
the Network Shutdown this way rather than through the SNMP/Web adapter, especially when a number
of servers need to be shutdown simultaneously.
Clearly, the RCCMD Client acting as Relay becomes an important link in the Network Shutdown process,
as it both receives and sends RCCMD Shutdown commands. This node and related network connectivity
(routers, switches and hubs) shall therefore be protected by the UPS.
