IBM Partner Pavilion Remote Supervisor Adapter manual Configuring PPP access over a serial port

The following table describes the functions on the Advanced Ethernet page.

Table 8. Advanced Ethernet setup

Field	Function
Data rate	Use the Data Rate field to specify the amount of data to be transferred
	per second over your LAN connection. To set the data rate, click the
	menu and select the data-transfer rate in Mb1 that corresponds to the
	capability of your network. To automatically detect the data-transfer rate,
	select Auto, which is the default value.
Duplex	Use the Duplex field to specify the type of communication channel used
	in your network.
	To set the duplex mode, select one of the following:
	Full enables data to be carried in both directions at once.
	Half enables data to be carried in either one direction or the other, but
	not both at the same time.
	To automatically detect the duplex type, select Auto, which is the default
	value.
Maximum	Use the Maximum transmission unit field to specify the maximum size
transmission unit	of a packet (in bytes) for your network interface. For Ethernet, the valid
	maximum transmission unit (MTU) range is 60 - 1500. The default value
	for this field is 1500.
Burned-in MAC	The burned-in MAC address is a unique physical address assigned to
address	this Remote Supervisor Adapter by the manufacturer. The address is also
	a read-only field.
Locally	Enter a physical address for this Remote Supervisor Adapter 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 does not support the use of a multicast
	address. A multicast address has the least significant bit of the first byte
	set to 1. The first byte, therefore, must be an even number.

1Mb equals approximately 1 000 000 bits.

11.Modify the advanced Ethernet settings as necessary.

12.Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Save.

13.Click Back to return to the Network Interfaces page.

14.If DHCP is enabled, the server automatically assigns the host name, IP address, gateway address, subnet mask, domain name, DHCP server IP address, and up to three DNS server IP addresses.

In order to view the DHCP server assigned setting, click IP Configuration Assigned by DHCP Server.

15.Click Save.

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

Configuring PPP access over a serial port

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 through a Telnet session or a Web browser.
