Setting the IP address
To access and manage an M770 ATM Switch remotely, for example using Telnet or
SNMP, an IP address must be set for the switch.
You will need to decide whether the M770 ATM Switch will use BOOTP to acquire
its IP address or whether you wish to set it manually.
If you plan to use BOOTP, make sure a BOOTP server is on the same ELAN as the
M770 ATM S witch man agement L EC, or the re is a rou te from a B OOTP serv er to the
ELAN. For more information about managing the Management LEC, see Chapter
11. You will need to set the IP address of the M770 ATM Switch to BOOTP (this is
the default IP setting for a new M770 ATM Switch). The M770 ATM Switch will then
attempt to learn its IP address using the BOOTP protocol.
If you plan to set the IP address manually, first ensure that the terminal or terminal
emulator is connected to the serial interface of the Master Agent. The IP address of
the switch can only be seen on the Master Agent (the Master Agent module’s
“NMA” LED will light ON). For example, if you want to set the IP address to be
149.49.46.61 with a subnet mask 255.255.255.0, and a gateway IP address
149.49.46.150, you should perform the following steps:
For more information about setting IP addresses, see “Configuring the Avaya M770
ATM Switch Address Information” on page 31.
Note: Changing the IP address commands will take effect immediately, and will
disrupt IP traffic (for example, Telnet or SNMP) that is going to the M770 ATM
Switch.
