Configure Open Systems Management Server

Use these procedures to configure the open systems inband
management program to function with the switch.

The optional Open Systems Management Server feature must be enabled in
order to perform this procedure.

Procedure

To configure the Open Systems Management Server, use the
following steps:

1. Select Management Server from the Configure menu on the menu

bar.

The Configure Open Systems Management Server dialog box
displays.

2. Enable the management server by clicking the Enable Management

Server check box to add a check mark. (To disable the
management server, click the check box again to remove the
check mark.)

3. Click the check box in the Host Control Prohibited field to display a

check mark and prohibit a host management program from
changing configuration and connectivity parameters on the
switch. In this case, the host program has read-only access to
configuration and connectivity parameters. Clicking the check
box when it contains a check mark removes the check mark and
allows a host program to change configuration and connectivity
parameters on the switch.

4. Activate changes and close the dialog box by clicking Activate.

configuration data. For more information, refer to
