Alan,
when I do the export the message appears that the ftp connection failed.
I just cannot give you the exact message, cause it's a customer machine
and I'm not always there. On September 8th. I'm again at another
customer with the same problem where I can try it and give you the exact
message. Because of the ping behaviour I have thought that it is a
routing problem. Must the nat bridge explicitly be switched on or should
it run by default or must perhaps the firewall be configured?
kind regards

I want to backup OSA-ICC settings to an ftp server. the HMC has one
address in the company's lan and the other adapter connected to the
support elements lan. The support elements have no connection to the
company's lan but a route to it over the hmc. On the ftp server I have
configured a route to the support elements lan also over the hmc. I can
ping the hmc ip address of the support elements lan but not the support
element itself. The reverse connection from the support elements works
also only up to the company's lan ip address of the hmc but not to the
ftp server. So I 'm sure that the hmc is not able to route the packets.
I have also enabled the routed in the network customization of hmc and
support element but this had no effect. Is there a way to let the hmc
act as a router for the support elements? I have attached a text file
with a little picture of the network environment.
I assume you're trying to "Export source file via FTP" in OSA-ICC Advanced
Facilities. What error are you getting?
IIRC there is a NAT bridge in the HMC to handle any needed SE
communications and you do not need (or want!) any IP routing changes to
use the Export via FTP function. Since the FTP is initiated from the SE
via OSA-ICC AF the HMC will open the NATted port. (There are firewalls in
the HMC to protect itself and the HMC-SE LAN.)
