IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II manual Configuring network protocols, Configuring SNMP

3.In the Interface field, select Enabled.

4.In the Local IP address field, type the local IP address for the PPP interface on this Remote Supervisor Adapter II. The field defaults to 192.96.1.1. The IP address must contain four integers from 0 through 255 separated by periods and no spaces.

5.In the Remote IP address field, type the remote IP address that this Remote Supervisor Adapter II will assign to a remote user. The field defaults to 192.96.1.2. The remote IP address must contain four integers from 0 through 255 separated by periods and no spaces.

6.In the Subnet mask field, type the subnet mask for the Remote Supervisor Adapter II to use. The default is 255.255.255.255. The subnet mask must contain four integers from 0 through 255 separated by periods and no spaces.

7.In the Authentication field, specify the type of authentication protocol that will be negotiated when a PPP connection is attempted.

v The PAP Only setting uses a two-way handshake procedure to validate the identity of the originator of the connection. The weak privileged access protection (PAP) authentication protocol is necessary if a plain text password must be available to simulate a login at a remote host.

v The CHAP Only setting uses a three-way handshake procedure to validate the identity of the originator of a connection when a connection occurs at any later time. The challenge handshake authentication protocol (CHAP) is stronger than the PAP protocol and protects against playback and trial-and-error attacks.

v The CHAP then PAP setting tries to authenticate using CHAP first. If the originator of the connection does not support CHAP, PAP is tried as a secondary authentication protocol. The CHAP then PAP setting is the default.

8.Click Save.

9.In the navigation pane, click Restart ASM to activate the changes.
