There are a two ways to ensure the pubic and private designations of the LANs.
•
Assign the private LAN IP address, 10.x.x.x, to the LAN you want designated as the private
LAN. You must also have the public LAN connection active when the HAFM appliance is
booting up.
•
Configure a specified Ethernet interface on the HAFM appliance to be the public LAN by
manually editing a file on the HAFM appliance to explicitly specify which IP address the HAFM
application should use as the public LAN.
Perform the following to configure an Ethernet interface:
• Open the
config.properties
file in directory
C:\Program Files\HAFM\
, and add
the following line:
ServerRmiIpAddress=x.x.x.x
where
x.x.x.x
is the IP address assigned to the Ethernet LAN adapter which is to be used
as the public LAN. This entry is case sensitive and must be made exactly as shown. After this
line has been added, reboot the HAFM appliance.
NOTE:
Rebooting the server does not impact the Fibre Channel operations of any edge switch or
director. Only monitoring switch operations, logging events, and implementing configuration
changes are interrupted.
Remote access to the public LAN
If the public LAN IP address of the HAFM appliance is changed, you must edit the
config.properties
file to reflect the new IP address.
Remote workstations are not supported on the secondary adapter, and must always connect to the
public adapter.

”Configuring remote workstations
Out-of-band access
Besides the HAFM application and Element Managers on the HAFM appliance, out-of-band
(non-Fibre Channel) management access to HP directors and switches is provided through the
following:
•
A simple network management protocol (SNMP) agent implemented through the
HAFM application. Administrators on SNMP management workstations can access product
management information using any standard network management tool. Administrators can
assign IP addresses and corresponding community names for up to 12 SNMP workstations
functioning as SNMP trap message recipients.
•
The Internet, using the Embedded Web Server (EWS) interface installed on the director or
switch. This interface supports configuration, statistics monitoring, and basic operation of the
product, but does not offer all the capabilities of the corresponding Element Manager in HAFM.
Administrators launch the web server interface from a remote PC by entering the product’s IP
