5. Click Create.
6. To add more IT devices, repeat the same steps.
In the beginning, the status of the added IT equipment shows "Waiting for
reliable connection," which means the requested number of consecutive
successful or unsuccessful pings has not reached before the BCM2 can
declare that the monitored device is reachable or unreachable.
To check the server monitoring states and results:
1. After adding IT equipment for monitoring, all IT devices are listed on
the Server Reachability page.
2. The column labeled "Ping Enabled" indicates whether the
monitoring for the corresponding IT device is activated or not.
3. The column labeled "Status" indicates the accessibility of each
monitored equipment.
Reachable The monitored equipment is accessible.
Unreachable The monitored equipment is inaccessible.
Waiting for reliable
connection
The connection between the BCM2 device and
the monitored equipment is not reliably
established yet.
