IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II manual Configuring PPP access over a serial connection

Table 9. Advanced Ethernet setup (continued)

Field	Function
Burned-in MAC	The burned-in MAC address is a unique physical address that is
address	assigned to this Remote Supervisor Adapter II by the manufacturer. The
	address is also a read-only field.
Locally	Enter a physical address for this Remote Supervisor Adapter II in the
administered	Locally administered MAC address field. If a value is specified, the
MAC address	locally administered address overrides the burned-in MAC address. The
	locally administered address must be a hexadecimal value from
	000000000000 through FFFFFFFFFFFF. This value must be in the form
	xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx where x is a number between 0 and 9. The Remote
	Supervisor Adapter II does not support the use of a multicast
	address.The first byte of a multicast address is an odd number (the least
	significant bit is set to 1). Therefore, the first byte must be an even
	number.

1Mb equals approximately 1 000 000 bits.

Configuring PPP access over a serial connection

Note: This feature is not available for the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine.

Use the point-to-point protocol (PPP) access method if you do not have Ethernet access. You can use PPP through your serial port to enable access to the Remote Supervisor Adapter II through a Telnet session or a Web browser.

Note: If you enable the PPP interface, the Remote Supervisor Adapter II cannot use the serial port for serial remote access.

To configure PPP access over a serial port, complete the following steps:

1.Log in to the Remote Supervisor Adapter where you want to configure PPP access over a serial port. For more information, see Chapter 2, “Opening and using the Web interface,” on page 5.

2.In the navigation pane, click Network Interfaces. Scroll down to the PPP over Serial Port 1 area.

Note: The values in the following illustration are examples. Your settings will be different.
