Software Configuration
The Management application allows you to configure the following software settings:
• Client/Server IP — IP configuration settings.
• IP preferences — IP settings specific to IP product managemental.
• Memory allocation settings — Memory allocation for the client and server.
• Product communication settings — Connections between the server and SAN switches or IP
products.
• FTP/SCP/SFTP server settings — Internal or external FTP or SCP server settings.
• Server port settings — Server port settings.
• Support mode settings — Support settings to allow enhanced diagnostics.
Client/Server IP
You can configure connections between the client or switches and the Management application
server.
Configuring the server IP address
If your Operating System is IPv4-enabled or IPv6-enabled (running in dual mode), the server binds
using an IPv4 address. IPv6 only mode does not support server to client communication (the IPv6
address cannot be bound to the server).
NOTE
If the Management server or client has multiple Network Interface Cards and if any of these
interfaces are not plugged in, you must disable them; otherwise, the following features do not work
properly:
Server impact
• Configuration wizard (does not display all IP addresses)
• Trap and Syslog auto registration
• Report content (Ipconfiguration element does not display all server IP addresses)
• Network OS configuration backup through FTP
• Trace dump through FTP
Client impact
• Options dialog box (does not display all IP addresses)
• Firmware import and download dialog box
