TCP/IP configuration parameters

Theme: Configure

What is it?​

Reference for Unix Agent TCP/IP configuration parameters, including allowed SMANetCom IP addresses, NIC binding, and TLS certificate settings.

  • When restricting which SMANetCom IP addresses are allowed to connect to the agent
  • When binding the agent to a specific network interface card (NIC)
  • When enabling or configuring TLS encryption for agent communication

Configuration parameters​

The following parameters reference the TCP/IP settings for communication between the agent and SMANetCom. These settings control allowed SMANetCom IP addresses, NIC binding, and TLS certificate configuration.

allowed_sam_ip_address_1​

Default Value: Any

Description:

  • Determines if communication from SMANetCom to the agent is restricted to one or more TCP/IP addresses.
  • If ANY is specified, the agent accepts communication from any SMANetCom.
  • If a specific TCP/IP address is defined (e.g., 126.40.90.231), the agent only accepts SMANetCom communication from the specified address.
  • The agent refuses a connection if communication is attempted from another address.
  • This definition enhances communication security.
  • If multiple SAMs are on a network, this address ensures the agent is only accepting messages from the intended SMANetCom.

allowed_sam_ip_address_2​

Default Value: unused

Description:

Same as address_1 explanation.

allowed_sam_ip_address_3​

Default Value: unused

Description:

Same as address_1 explanation.

allowed_sam_ip_address_4​

Default Value: unused

Description:

Same as address_1 explanation.

allowed_sam_ip_address_5​

Default Value: unused

Description:

Same as address_1 explanation.

bound_NIC_adapter_ip​

Default Value: default

Description:

  • Defines the desired TCP/IP address to bind to.
  • This must be a valid TCP/IP address for this machine.

use_TLS_SAM​

Default Value: 0

Description:

  • Determines if communication from SMANetCom to the agent is using TLS.
  • When enabling TLS, ensure that the JORS and SMAFT ports are not configured to use the same port number in the lsam.config file.
  • If set to zero, TLS is disabled.
  • If set to non-zero, TLS is enabled.

lsam_pem_file​

Default Value: none

Description:

Defines the absolute path of the public certificate file.

lsam_private_key_file​

Default Value: none

Description:

Defines the absolute path of the private key file (the path may be the same as the public certificate file).

netcom_pem_file​

Default Value: none

Description:

Reserved for future use.
