General Settings
The Administration > General Settings page, enable you to configure the following settings :
Management Interface Configuration
Module Addresses (Enterprise NetProfiler only)
Outgoing Mail Server (for alerts and reports)
Hybrid Flows Visibility Configuration
Baseboard Management Controller Settings
Changing the General Settings page requires an Administrator or Operator account. Changes you make on the Administration > General Settings page take effect when you click Configure now at the bottom of the page.
Note: If someone were to misconfigure the control interface settings, the NetProfiler would become unreachable and it would be necessary to reinstall the software in order to access it. If other parameters were misconfigured, the NetProfiler might not monitor traffic and send alerts correctly. It is important to the operation of the NetProfiler for the settings on the General Settings page to be correct.
Note: NetProfiler can be placed on both IPv4 and IPv6 networks (dual homed). The Management Interface Configuration section accepts both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. All other sections on this page that include address specifications accept either IPv4 or IPv6 addresses, except for the Baseboard Management Controller section. Where present, the Baseboard Management Controller section accepts an IPv4 address. The Baseboard Management Controller can be placed on an IPv6 network by accessing its user interface through the console port.
