2.11 Setting NIC Binding Order

Set the NIC binding order if your proxy agent computer uses two NICs (network interface cards): one on the ELAN and one on the TLAN. The binding order is the order in which the TCP/IP or other network service attempts to connect to a network interface.

If the binding order is set so the TLAN is contacted first, the Alarms script does not receive alarms because SNMP traps from CS1000 come in on the ELAN.

Set your binding order so the ELAN is contacted before the TLAN.

To set NIC binding order:

  1. On the proxy agent computer, navigate to the Network Connections window.

  2. On the Advanced menu, click Advanced Settings.

  3. In the Connections panel, select a network connection, and then use the Up and Down buttons to sort the connections in the proper order.
