IP Security allows an administrator to define a set of IP addresses that are the only ones allowed to connect to the services provided (SSH, HTTP, HTTPS, TELNET, SNMP). This means that an administrator can make sure only a certain set of machines have access to Integrated Administrator. Automatic network configuration The Integrated Administrator provides automatic network configuration of the IP address and host name using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Dynamic DNS/WINS. Integrated Administrator comes with a default name and DHCP client that leases an IP address from the DHCP server on the network. For networks that do not use DHCP, the Integrated Administrator can use a static IP configuration. Automatic time configuration (NTP) Automatic time configuration allows Integrated Administrator to synchronize its date and time with a blade PC supporting the Network Time Protocol (NTP). Integration with the HP Systems Insight Manager utility Integrated Administrator provides full integration with the HP Systems Insight Manager utility under key operating environments. This integration provides: ● Support for SNMP management-Support for SNMP trap delivery to a HP Systems Insight Manager console ● Management processor-The HP Systems Insight Manager utility adds support for a new device type, the management processor. All Integrated Administrators (in HP PC Blade Enclosure) on the network are discovered in the HP Systems Insight Manager utility as management processors. The management processors are associated with the blade PCs they manage. ● Integrated Administrator hyperlinks-The HP Systems Insight Manager utility provides a hyperlink on the blade PC device page to launch and connect to Integrated Administrator. ● Grouping of Integrated Administrator processors-All Integrated Administrator management processors can be grouped together logically and displayed on one page in the HP Systems Insight Manager utility. This capability provides access to all Integrated Administrators on the network from one point in HP Systems Insight Manager. For more information on the HP Systems Insight Manager utility, refer to the ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack documentation that ships with the system or refer to: http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/index.html. Event Notification The Integrated Administrator provides real-time event notifications for an enclosure. When an event occurs, the Integrated Administrator notifies connected users by generating an icon that the user can click to view more details. Status Information The Integrated Administrator enables an enclosure administrator to update the rack name, enclosure name, asset tag, time zone, date, and time, as well as observe the status and general information for every component in the enclosure. 6 Chapter 2 HP PC Blade Enclosure System Software Features ENWW

●
Grouping of Integrated Administrator processors—All Integrated Administrator management
processors can be grouped together logically and displayed on one page in the HP Systems Insight
Manager utility. This capability provides access to all Integrated Administrators on the network from
one point in HP Systems Insight Manager.
