Allied Telesis AT-VIEW PLUS 2.4 DEVICE MANAGER - Manual (Page 14)

Allied Telesyn AT-VIEW PLUS
DEVICE MANAGER
Starting from HP OpenView
Note - The configuration of HP OpenView changes during the installation of AT-View Plus Device
Manager to incorporate AT-View Plus Device Manager in its menu.
Note - For the AT-AR250E running firmware v1.0.4, HP OpenView sets the host name to "RIP2-
ROUTERS.MCAST.NET". Device Manager, when started within HPOV, uses this host name and
connects to any RIP2 router present in the network. As a result, Device Manager may not load the
AT-AR250E device panel and may instead load another device's image. To prevent this from
happening, create one entry in the local hosts file for each AT-AR250E running firmware v1.0.4 in
the network. Use the LAN IP address of the device and a host name that is unique within the
network.

Note - HP-UX : When manually adding an AT-AR250E running firmware v1.0.4 to the network
map in HP OpenView, use the device's host name, as specified in the local hosts file, for the
Hostname field in the IP Map dialog. Using the device's IP address instead of its host name resets the
Hostname field to "RIP2-ROUTERS.MCAST.NET" causing Device Manager to connect to any
RIP2 router present in the network.
