Configuring SupportAssist Server SupportAssist Server mode allows you to configure server name and the means of reaching the server. By default, a SupportAssist server URL has been configured on the device. Configuring a URL to reach the SupportAssist remote server should be done only under the direction of Dell SupportChange. To configure SupportAssist server, use the following commands. 1 Configure the name of the remote SupportAssist Server and move to SupportAssist Server mode. SUPPORTASSIST mode [no] server server-name Dell(conf-supportassist)#server default Dell(conf-supportassist-serv-default)# 2 Configure a proxy for reaching the SupportAssist remote server. SUPPORTASSIST SERVER mode [no] proxy-ip-address {ipv4-address | ipv6-address}port port-number [ username userid password [encryption-type] password ] Dell(conf-supportassist-serv-default)#proxy-ip-address 10.0.0.1 port 90 username test password 0 test1 Dell(conf-supportassist-serv-default)# 3 Enable communication with the SupportAssist server. SUPPORTASSIST SERVER mode [no] enable Dell(conf-supportassist-serv-default)#enable Dell(conf-supportassist-serv-default)# 4 Configure the URL to reach the SupportAssist remote server. SUPPORTASSIST SERVER mode [no] url uniform-resource-locator Dell(conf-supportassist-serv-default)#url https://192.168.1.1/index.htm Dell(conf-supportassist-serv-default)# Viewing SupportAssist Configuration To view the SupportAssist configurations, use the following commands. 1 Display information on SupportAssist feature status including any activities, status of communication, last time communication sent, and so on.
