IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter, User Manual, Page: 43 / 124

Note: If you enable the PPP interface, the Remote Supervisor Adapter cannot use
the serial port for serial remote access.
Complete the following steps to configure PPP access over a serial port:
1. Log in to the Remote Supervisor Adapter where you want to configure PPP
access over a serial port. For more information, see Chapter 2, “Opening and
using the ASM Web interface” on page 3.
2. In the navigation pane, click Network Interfaces . Scroll down to the PPP over
Serial Port section.
Note: The values in the following window are examples. Your settings will be
different.
3. In the Interface field, select Enabled .
4. In the Local IP address field, type the local IP address for the PPP interface on
this Remote Supervisor Adapter. The field defaults to 192.96.1.1. The IP
address must contain:
v
Four integers from 0 through 255 separated by periods
v No spaces
5. In the Remote IP address field, type the remote IP address that this Remote
Supervisor Adapter will assign to a remote user. The field defaults to 192.96.1.2.
The remote IP address must contain:
v Four integers from 0 through 255 separated by periods
v No spaces
6. In the Subnet mask field, type the subnet mask for the Remote Supervisor
Adapter to use. The default is 255.255.255.255. The subnet mask must contain:
v Four integers from 0 through 255 separated by periods
v
No spaces
7. In the Authentication field, specify the type of authentication protocol that will
be negotiated when a PPP connection is attempted.
v The PAP Only setting uses a two-way handshake procedure to validate the
identity of the originator of the connection. The weak privileged access
protection (PAP) authentication protocol is necessary if a plain text password
must be available to simulate a login at a remote host.
