Sun Management Center 4.0 Installation and Configuration Guide

Enabling Network Address Translation Support

If your network uses Network Address Translation (NAT), you must enable NAT support after you have installed and set up Sun Management Center 4.0. You cannot start Sun Management Center until you have enabled NAT support for each server, agent, and console machine in your network as described in the following procedure. See Appendix D, Network Address Translation for more information about NAT.

The following procedure assumes you installed Sun Management Center in the default directory /opt. If you did not install Sun Management Center in /opt, replace /opt with the name of the directory you specified.

ProcedureTo Enable NAT Support

  1. Log in as root on the machine for which you want to enable Network Address Translation support.

  2. Type /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-config -n.

    es-config stops all Sun Management Center processes. The port numbers currently assigned to the Sun Management Center components are then displayed.

    You are asked to provide the host name for the machine. The machine name is displayed.

  3. Provide the machine host name.
