The Web Manager Access-Device screen displays the Enable Native IP option for an SP only if the following are all true:If a VPN connection is not already up, the Access-Device screen displays a -Native IP: Not available message.By clicking the Enable link next to Native IP on the Devices screen, an authorized user enables access to several native features that may be available on an SP or device, including a native web application or a native management application.The rules for bringing up the Web Manager to access the Devices screen differ between IPSec and PPTP VPN connections as indicated here:
• If the VPN connection is being made using IPSec, the authorized user may use the OnBoard appliance’s IP address to bring up the Web Manager first and go to the Device screen before making the VPN connection. After subsequently making the VPN connection, the user can reload the form to see the Enable Native IP link active.
• If the VPN connection is made using PPTP, the VPN connection must be made before the Web Manager can be launched, because the Web Manager must be launched using the PPTP IP address.The user obtains the IP address assigned to the PPTP interface by entering the ifconfig or ipconfig command on the workstation’s command line (which command to use depends on the operating system). In the command output, the IP address assigned to the connection appears in the lines following the words PPP adapter, as shown in the following.C:\> ipconfigThe user then enters the PPTP IP address in a browser to bring up the Web Manager and enable native IP access.See Tasks for creating secure tunnels and obtaining native IP access for more details.As shown in Figure 3.10, the words Enable | Disabled appear appears next to the Native IP option if a VPN connection exists, with the Enable link active.Clicking the Enable link enables native IP and makes the Disable link active. The Go to native web interface link appears, as shown in Figure 3.11.Figure 3.12 shows an example of a HP iLO web interface that appeared after an authorized user clicked the Go to native web interface link shown in the previous figure.CAUTION: When finished with SP management tasks performed using native IP, the authorized user should always click the Disabled link before closing the VPN connection. Leaving native IP enabled creates a security risk.
• Provided you with the PPTP password if it is different from your OnBoard appliance password
• Provided you with an IP address that was assigned while configuring VPN PPTP access on the OnBoard appliance
