Configuration
To access the Network Parameters Menus, proceed as follows:
•Text Interface: Type /N and press [Enter]. The Network Parameters Menu shown in Figure 5.9 will be displayed.
•Web Browser Interface: Click on the "Network Configuration" link on the left hand side of the screen. The RSM will display the Network Configuration menu shown in Figure 5.10, which allows you to access the various submenus used to configure the network port.
Notes:
•Settings for network parameters depend on the configuration of your network. Please contact your network administrator for appropriate settings.
•The Network Parameters Menu selects parameters for all 16 logical Network Ports.
•When a new IP Address is selected, or the status of the DHCP feature is changed, the unit will disconnect and reconfigure itself with the new values when you exit the Network Parameters Menu. When configuring the unit via Web or Telnet, make certain your DHCP server is set up to assign a known, fixed IP address in order to simplify reconnection to the unit after the new address has been assigned.
•The Network Parameters menu is only available when you have logged into command mode using an account and port that permit Supervisor commands.
The Network Parameters menu allows you to define the parameters that are discussed in the following sections. Note that although the descriptions of network parameters are arranged according to the Web Browser Interface, in the Text Interface, all parameters (except IP Security configuration) are included in one menu.
