v

The CHAP Only setting uses a three-way handshake procedure to validate
the identity of the originator of a connection upon connection at any time
later. The challenge handshake authentication protocol (CHAP) is stronger
than the PAP protocol and protects against playback and trial-and-error
attacks.

v

The CHAP then PAP setting tries to authenticate using CHAP first. If the
originator of the connection does not support CHAP, then PAP is tried as a
secondary authentication protocol. The CHAP then PAP setting is the default.

Configuring SNMP

You can query the SNMP agent to collect the “sysgroup” information and to send
configured SNMP alerts to the configured host names or IP addresses.

Note: If you plan to configure Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps

on the Remote Supervisor Adapter, you must install and compile the two
management information bases (MIBs) on your SNMP manager. One MIB
supports SNMP traps and the other MIB supports the Get, GetNext, and Set
request and response operations. You can install the MIBs that are provided
in the MIB directory on the IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter Support CD that
comes with the Remote Supervisor Adapter or you can go to
http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/.

Complete the following steps to configure your SNMP:

1. Log in to the Remote Supervisor Adapter where you want to configure SNMP.

For more information, see Chapter 2, “Opening and using the ASM Web
interface” on page 3.

2. In the navigation pane, click System Settings. In the ASM information page

that opens, specify system contact and system location information. For
information about the System Settings page, see “Setting system information”

on page 14.

3. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Save.
