Oracle SL150 - Behavior of Library Port 1 and Port 2 with LME; Port Configuration Options

• Behavior of Library Port 1 and Port 2 with LME
The LME configuration affects the behavior of library port 1 and 2.
Behavior of Library Port 1 and Port 2 with LME
The LME configuration affects the behavior of library port 1 and 2.
With library code 3.50 and above, you can configure Network Port 2 for library
managed encryption (LME). Enabling LME on Port 2 changes the behavior of the
ports. If you do not configure Port 2, the behavior of the ports continues to function
as before (with Port 1 sending UI, SNMP, and email alerts (SMTP) traffic, and Port 2
reserved for service use).
Note:
If you plan to configure Port 2, use a separate subnet/gateway than Port 1,
otherwise all traffic will go through Port 1.

Port 1 Behavior with LME Enabled on Port 2
With Port 2 enabled for LME, Port 1 continues to act as the primary port for the
customer to manage the library sending UI, SNMP, and email alert (SMTP) traffic. In
addition, Port 1 will send SDP-2 traffic. Since the library will only send LME (OKM)
traffic through Port 2, this requires the Oracle Service tool SDP-2 to now be connected
to Port 1 when LME is enabled on Port 2.
Port 2 Behavior with LME Enabled on Port 2
When Port 2 is configured for LME, the library will send all OKM communication
through Port 2 (as long as you configure Port 1 and 2 on different subnets). A service
