VB4000-5000-6000 Settings
The following VBrick settings affect interoperability between the VB4000-5000-6000 series
appliance and VBDirectory.
Host Name
The Host Name is set in the
Configuration: Ethernet section of
the Integrated Web Server (IWS) or
in the corresponding Command Line
(CLI) instructions. Please refer to the
VBrick Users Guide.
Setting the Management SAP
These parameters define information used in the SAPs emitted by the VBrick, which are
received by the VBDirectory management tool and other VBrick applications. They are found
in the Configuration: Network – Management section of IWS or the corresponding
Command Line (CLI) instructions. Please refer to the VBrick Users Guide.
Management SAP IP Address –
The default address from which
Management SAPs are obtained by
VBDirectory is 224.2.133.134, port
9876. Sending SAPs from a VBrick
to any address other than that,
without changing the default
VBDirectory configuration will make
Management SAPs invisible to
VBDirectory.
SAP Transmit enabled – SAP
transmit must be enabled in the SAP
option settings.
Timeout -- The retransmit time set in
the VBrick must be less than the
SAP timeout value set in
VBDirectory. The VBDirectory default timeout value is set at 25 seconds.
Group Name – This parameter defines the Group Name for this box. It is included in the
Management SAPs used by VBDirectory. It is an optional setting used for organizing VBricks
into groups to simplify use of VBDirectory.
