Local Terminal Configuration

Using a Local Terminal

NOTE

If the optional Token-Ring telemetry interface is not installed, the probe will not

 

allow you to change the Fast Ethernet interface’s port type from telemetry.

 

If the Token-Ring telemetry interface is installed, you can configure either the

 

Fast Ethernet interface or the Token-Ring interface as the telemetry interface. The

 

Fast Ethernet interface comes from the factory configured as Telemetry and the

 

Token-Ring interface comes configured as Monitor/Transmit and is disabled.

 

“Disabled” in this case means that the interface does not function at all, not as a

 

Telemetry port nor as a Monitor/Transmit port. If you configure the Token-Ring

 

interface as Telemetry, the Fast Ethernet interface automatically becomes

 

configured as Monitor/Transmit and is disabled.

 

Port Type

The Fast Ethernet interface can only be used as a Telemetry

 

 

 

port. The telemetry port does not maintain network statistics

for the Fast Ethernet interface. The telemetry interface only allows the retrieval of ATM network statistics. Port 1 is the Fast Ethernet interface and it is the telemetry port by default. If the Token-Ring interface is also installed, you can select either the Fast Ethernet or the Token-Ring interface (but not both) as the telemetry port. Refer to “Token-Ring Telemetry Interface Configuration” on page 29 for information on configuring the Token-Ring interface. The probe must be configured with exactly one telemetry port.

The Telemetry port only receives packets destined to the telemetry port’s IP address, can transmit packets onto the network, and is used for SNMP communications to the probe.
