Resolve Gateway MAC Address
Figure 11. Address Resolution
If Alerts must cross subnets, the software will attempt to verify the gateway address to reach the Alert Destination. The Alert Destination is the console receiving the alert message from the configured server. It will use an entered MAC address or attempt to find the IP address for the Alert Destination system if the checkbox is checked.
Automatic resolution will fail if:
•Network cable is not connected at both ends
•IP address configuration is invalid
•Incorrect network configuration.
After resolving a failure, press the Resolve MAC Address button again or enter the MAC address of the destination system (in 6 dotted octets).
If skipped, Alerts will be broadcast on the local subnet.
