Setting the TFTP destination for RME Archive Sync

[jmszkandera]

Hi,

We are attempting to do an Archive Sync from RME in LMS 3.2.

LMS is installed on a Solaris device with multiple VNICs (let's define VNIC1 IP as 1.1.1.1 and VNIC2 IP as 10.0.0.1). The network which has managed devices on it is connected to NIC 2 in the 10.0.0.0 range. We use VNIC 1 to access LMS. There is no routing between 1.1.1.1 and 10.0.0.0.

Now, I understand that when RME attempts to sync a switch, it starts and SSH session into the device and triggers a "copy flash: tftp:" command. This is apparent from the debug logs from RME.

These TFTP based retrievals are failing because RME is setting the TFTP destination to the IP from VNIC 1 (in our case, to 1.1.1.1). Is there any way to force RME to use another IP address for the TFTP destination?

Thank you.

you should be able to workaround this by going to

     RME > Administration > System Preferences > RME Device Attribute > Add Natted RME IP Address

and enter 10.0.0.1 as the Natted IP address

Thanks very much. I'll try that and see if it works out.

That did the trick.
