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

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

Configuring network protocols

On the Network Protocols page, you can perform the following functions:

vConfigure Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

vConfigure Domain Name System (DNS)

vConfigure Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)

Configuring SNMP

You can query the SNMP agent to collect the “sysgroup” information and to send configured SNMP alerts to the configured host names or IP addresses.

Note: If you plan to configure Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps on the Remote Supervisor Adapter, you must install and compile the two management information bases (MIBs) on your SNMP manager. One MIB supports SNMP traps and the other MIB supports the Get, GetNext, and Set request and response operations. You can install the MIBs that are provided in the MIB directory on the IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter Support CD that comes with the Remote Supervisor Adapter or you can go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/.

Complete the following steps to configure your SNMP:

1.Log in to the Remote Supervisor Adapter where you want to configure SNMP. For more information, see Chapter 2, “Opening and using the ASM Web interface” on page 3.

2.In the navigation pane, click System Settings. In the ASM information page that opens, specify system contact and system location information. For information about the System Settings page, see “Setting system information” on page 14.

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