• The IP address of the remote system. (10.0.0.29)

Domain Name/IP

If the network is a domain name, enter one of the following:

Select Bit Count to indicate that the mask will be based on bit count. Select from between 1 and 32.

Select Subnet Mask to enter a subnet mask in the same the format as the IP address.

Attributes of the Selected Network: VERITAS Security Services

The VERITAS Security Services selection determines whether or not the network uses VxSS.

• Required: Select Required if the network should accept requests only from remote systems using VxSS. Connections from remote systems not using VxSS are rejected. Consider selecting Required if all systems are at NetBackup 5.0 or later and maximum security is required.
• Prohibit: Select Prohibit if the network should reject connections from any remote system using VxSS. Consider selecting Prohibit if the network is closed and maximum performance is required.
• Automatic: Select Automatic if the network should negotiate with the remote system on whether to use VxSS. Consider selecting Automatic if the network contains mixed versions of NetBackup.
