Issue:
Configuring Post-only Mode for Netbotz Appliances
Product Line:
NetBotz.
Environment:
NetBotz version 2 and 3
NetBotz Central 2.x
InfraStruxure Central
StruxureWare Data Center Expert.
Cause:
NetBotz posting configuration. This may be necessary if the NetBotz appliances can not be polled by StruxureWare but the NetBotz appliance can post.
Resolution:
Appliances can only be placed in Post-only mode from the Advanced View. To place an appliance in Post-only Mode perform the following steps:
- Select “Tools” then “Advanced” then “Post Only Mode”.
- Enter the hostname or IP address of the NetBotz Central the appliance will be "posting" to as well as the appropriate authentication data. Enter a username and password that has administrator level privilege on the NetBotz Central or StruxureWare Data Center Expert server..
- When all of the information is correctly entered, click on the OK button. Once the OK button is pressed, the following screen will appear with status information.
- Click on the "Post to INfraStruxure Central now" button to check the connection and ensure the information is correctly entered.
NOTE: If the initial post is successful then the stats will change to "Registered". If the initial post is not successful, check the appliance log under "Tools" -> "Appliance Log" to see the failure information in detail.
NOTE: NetBotz Central can not communicate with version 3 appliances.
