Using the SmartServer as Network Management Tool

13. If Use LNS Network Interface is selected, the Network Management Mode property is set to

OnNet automatically. This means that network changes are propagated to the network
immediately. Click OffNet to store network changes in the selected OpenLNS network database
and propagate them to the network when you place the SmartServer OnNet.

14. Click Submit. If you selected LNS Auto in the Network Management Service property, the

name of the network changes to the name of the OpenLNS network database specified in step 11,
the network icon changes to an LNS Server icon, and the synchronization automatically begins.
During the synchronization process, items in the SmartServer tree that are out of sync with the
OpenLNS network database are highlighted yellow. When all the items in the SmartServer tree
are synchronized (not highlighted yellow), the synchronization is complete. You can continue to
use the SmartServer Web interface during the synchronization.

Notes:

You can view the progress of the synchronization in the navigation pane. To do this, click
Settings to open the Global Settings dialog, and then select the Show Synchronization
Progress in Tree
check box. This adds a synchronization status bar to the right of the
network icon in the SmartServer tree that displays the current ratio of items that have already
been synchronized to the total number of items being synchronized.

You can view a log of the current synchronization in the SmartServer’s console application.
To view the sync log, enter the trace 2 command. For more information on the SmartServer
console application, see Appendix B, Using the SmartServer Console Application.
