IBM 8870 manual ASM interconnect network Ethernet configuration, Supervisor, xSeries

ASM interconnect network configuration examples: The illustrations in this section show sample ASM interconnect network configurations.

In the following example, an Ethernet cable connects the remote system management administrator’s system to the Remote Supervisor Adapter II-EXA that is installed in an xSeries 445. In this case, the xSeries 445 uses the LAN connection to forward system-management data generated by the other servers in the ASM interconnect network to the remote system-management administrator.
