PCM+ v4 server with multiple nics

Can PCM+ manage switches on disjoint networks that are reachable through different nics on server?

Hi Haim

You can manage multiple subnets on one PCM. How to configure multi-homed PCM is described in the installation and getting started guide. If there is a firewall between the PCM server and the networks, you need to have a remote agent on each network.

Hi Arimo,

Thanks for the reply. I thought the server attaches itself to one (primary) NIC and the network is seen and managed only through this NIC. Is my assumption wromg?

Thanks,

Haim

Hi Haim

Admin guide, page 2-78:

Working With Multi-homed Systems:
A multi-homed system is a Server or PC that has more than one IP address.
Generally this is achieved by installing more than one network card in the
system
