Re: Manager can't find Workstation

 

Hi Jussi,
Hi,
I added worksation but I can't see it on manager start window. Ping works for any (ST GW, and google.com <http://google.com>) destinations anyway.

In order to be discovered by the manager, the hosts need to contact it.
However, as workstations are behind terminals, they are generally not on the same network as the manager ans thus, cannot be discovered.

There are a solution for that but first of all, do you really need a daemon on workstation ? This is only useful when you need automatic and dynamic routes or if you wish to use some tools. Otherwise, you can use a basic computer and configure your interface with DHCP if server is enabled on the terminal. If you prefer you can also configure the workstation interface and route manually: you can either add a default destination or add a route for the emulation network via the satellite terminal.
If you need details, please send me your network configuration.

I you really need a daemon on workstation you can add a new Ethernet interface on your computer and plug it on the manager network. In our platforms, we use 2 networks, one for emulation and the other for management, so we can discover worsktations through the management network. This is also useful to avoid sending statistics on the emulation network.

Best regards,
