Network connectivity
This library supports various browsers and interfaces.
Supported browsers
IBM supports higher versions of the browsers if the vendors don’t remove or disable functions that the
product relies upon. For browser levels higher than the versions that are certiîš´ed with the product,
customer support accepts usage-related and defect-related service requests. As with operating system
and virtualization environments, if IBM support can’t re-create the issue in the lab, the client might be
asked to re-create the problem on a certiîš´ed browser version to determine whether a product defect
exists. Defects aren’t accepted for cosmetic differences between browsers or browser versions that
don’t affect the functional behavior of the product. If a problem is identied in the product, defects
are accepted. If a problem is identiîš´ed with the browser, IBM might investigate potential solutions or
workarounds that the client can implement until a permanent solution becomes available.
Supported interfaces
This tape library supports the Gigabit Ethernet interface in either auto negotiation or îš´xed modes of
10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1 Gbps by using half or full duplex. The library supports the following TCP/IP
protocols:
IPv4 and IPv6 support
This tape library supports Internet Protocol (IP) addresses in both IPv4 and IPv6 format. Both the
integrated management console (IMC) and the management GUI allow the deîš´nition of IPv4 and IPv6
addresses. The key proxy determines the IP version that is used and presents the correct IP address
and parameters to the IP Stack.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
SNMP traps are supported for drive and library events. SNMP management query functions are
supported by using a standard Management Information Block (MIB).
Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
An embedded web server provides a management GUI for library management and query capabilities.
Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
The tape library supports SSL, a protocol for transmitting private documents through the internet.
Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP)
Used for communicating with the IBM
®
Security Lifecycle Key Manager and other security key
management software.
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
The tape library supports SMTP for sending email alerts.
Network Time Protocol (NTP)
The tape library supports NTP for external time-and-date synchronization.
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
The tape library supports LDAP for centralized authentication.
Domain Name System (DNS)
The tape library supports DNS for flexible IP addressing.
Dynamic Host Conîš´guration Protocol (DHCP)
The library supports DHCP for automatically providing an Internet Protocol (IP) host with its IP
address and other related conîš´guration information, such as the subnet mask and default gateway.
