Configuring Your Managed System 23
Backup Gateway MAC Address
This edit box allows you to enter the MAC address of the backup gateway router. The MAC address
is entered as a series of six pairs of hex digits separated by dashes, such as 00-01-62-d0-3e-66.
Alphabetic hex digits (a-f) can be entered in uppercase or lowercase. This edit box is disabled by
default and is only activated if the check box for Automatically resolve Backup Gateway MAC
address is not checked.
Automatically Resolve Backup Gateway MAC Address
This check box allows you to specify whether the BMC should automatically attempt to resolve the
MAC address of the backup gateway router. This box is checked by default unless the MAC address
edit box appears to include a valid MAC address.
If this box is not checked, you must provide the MAC address in the
Backup Gateway MAC
Address field.
When the
Next button is clicked, the firmware attempts to resolve the gateway MAC address. If
the BMC cannot resolve the address, the screen is redisplayed with the box unchecked and you are
asked to provide the MAC address in the Backup Gateway MAC Address field. If the screen is
redisplayed due to a MAC address resolution issue, any user data previously entered, other than the
MAC address information, remains in place.
Serial Over LAN Configuration Subtask
The Serial Over LAN screen, shown in Figure 2-4, allows you to configure the operation of the
serial over LAN capability of the BMC.
The SMU sets up the SOL configuration such that SOL packets do not have to be authenticated.
This enhances the performance of an SOL session.
