Configuring PPP access over the serial port

Use the point-to-point protocol (PPP) access method if you do not have Ethernet
access. You can use PPP through your serial port to enable access to the Remote
Supervisor Adapter through a Telnet session or a Web browser.

Note: If you enable the PPP interface, the Remote Supervisor Adapter cannot use

the serial port for serial remote access.

1. Log in to the Remote Supervisor Adapter. For more information, see

“Accessing the text-based interface through a Telnet connection” on page 65 or
“Accessing the text-based interface through a direct serial connection” on
page 66.

2. In the Advanced System Management window, select Settings. The Settings

window opens.

3. In the Settings window, select Network Interfaces/Protocols. The Network

Interfaces/Protocols window opens.

4. In the Network Interfaces/Protocols window, select PPP. The PPP window

opens.

Note: The values in the following window are examples. Your settings will be

different.

5. In the Interface field, select Enabled.

6. In the Local IP address field, enter the local address for the PPP interface on

this Remote Supervisor Adapter. The field defaults to 192.96.1.1. The IP
address must contain:
