Management SAP IP Address
VBDirectory is configured to pick up Management
SAPs transmitted by VBricks. The default address
from which the Management SAPs are obtained is
224.2.133.134, port 9876. If the default address from
which the Management SAP is received is changed in
VBDirectory without changing the SAP address to
which the Management SAP is sent by the VBrick, the
Management SAP will no longer be visible.
Timeout Value
The SAP Timeout Value specifies the length of time a
Management SAP will remain on the list after it stops
being transmitted. This configuration option works in
tandem with the Retransmit Time value in the
Management Screen of the VBrick. If the SAP
Timeout Value is smaller than the Retransmit Time,
then that VBrick's Management SAP will keep
intermittently appear on VBDirectory's list. Take this into account
when changing the SAP Timeout Value. The default value is set at 25 seconds.
Filter
It is possible to filter the list through the Group Name, Host Name or IP Address by selecting
one of the radio buttons and clicking on FILTER c. To return to the entire list, click the
same button, which will have toggled to UNFILTER d.
