(for example, the modem it is configured to use has failed or the network cannot resolve the destination IP address), the processor or adapter will attempt to forward the alert, to another system on the ASM Interconnect network that has the resources necessary to forward the alert as requested. If another system with the necessary resources is not available or the alert still cannot be forwarded it is discarded. Sample Advanced System Management Interconnect configurations: The following illustrations present sample ASM Interconnect network configurations that you can use. In this example, a modem has been connected to the Advanced System Management PCI Adapter that is included with a Netfinity 7000 M10 and an Advanced System Management PCI Adapter option has been installed in a Netfinity 5000. In this case, the Netfinity 5000 with the Advanced System Management PCI Adapter will act as a network gateway, forwarding system management data generated by the other systems in the ASM Interconnect network bus to system management administration system connected to the network. The Netfinity 7000 M10 has been configured to use a modem to forward the system management data to the administrator as well, providing redundancy in case of network failure.
