Allied Telesis AT-VIEW PLUS 3.2 DEVICE MANAGER - Manual (Page 18)

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 HP Open View, 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.
Note - HP OpenView can only start AT-View Plus Device Manager in SNMPv1 mode.
