Enable multi-homed support
The Brocade SMI Agent supports multi-homed hosts; that is, hosts configured with multiple IPs.
This means that you can configure which IP address the SMI Agent should use for Event and ARR
registration on the switch.
Configuring IP address for switch-to-SMIAgent communication in
multi-homed systems
1. Edit the
SMIAgentConfig.xml
file found at
.../server/jserver/bin
with the following entry:
<host address="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"/>
For example,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE agent_config SYSTEM "SMIAgentConfig.dtd">
<agent_config>
<dbserver driver="" is_password_encrypted="" password="" url=""
username=""/>
<port_config arr="5400" eventing="123"/>
<secureport_config arr="876" eventing="1"/>
<host address="10.201.64.173"/>
</agent_config>
2. Restart the Brocade SMI Agent.
Configuring IP address for SMI Agent client to server communication in
multi-homed systems
1. Edit the
jserver.properties
file found at
…server/jserver/bin
with the following entry:
HostIPAddress=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
2. Restart the Brocade SMI Agent.
