Add SMC Server contact addresses

The Management Server and Log Server can have more than one contact address for each Location.

  • If you have additional Management Servers or Log Servers, define two or more contact addresses for each Location. Multiple contact addresses are required so that remote components can connect to a Management Server or a Log Server even if one of the Management Servers or Log Servers fails.
  • If you have configured Multi-Link, define two or more contact addresses per Location so that remote components can connect to the servers even if a NetLink goes down.

Steps

  1. Right-click a server and select Properties.
  2. From the Location drop-down menu, select the location to which the server belongs.
  3. If necessary, edit the contact addresses.
    • A Default contact address is automatically entered based on the element properties.
    • If the server has multiple Default contact addresses, separate the addresses with commas.
    • If necessary, click Exceptions to define other contact addresses for specific Locations
      Note: Elements that belong to the same Location element always use the primary IP address when contacting each other instead of any contact addresses. Elements that do not belong to a specific Location are considered to belong to the Default Location.
  4. Click OK.
