CHAPTER 7: CONFIGURATION SCREEN

7.2CONFIGURATION SCREEN FIELDS

The following briefly explains each Configuration Screen field.

I/F

Displays the interface number (1 to 6) corresponding to a particular EMM-E6 channel. This number allows the EMM-E6 to accurately identify MIB II channel information. The following table illustrates the I/F number to channel association.

I/F	Channel
1	A
2	B
3	C
4	D
5	E
6	F

Channel A is the original Ethernet bus channel. Channels B & C are the Flexible Network Bus (FNB) channels. Channel D is an external Ethernet network accessed through an Ethernet Port Interface Module (EPIM). Channels E and F are external connections through optional BRIMs. Refer to Chapter 1 of this User’s Guide for a more complete description of channels.

NOTE

Channel E and F configuration options are dynamic. This means the EMM-E6 only provides options for Channels E or F if you have a BRIM module installed in one of these slots.

IP Address

Displays the IP address for each interface of the EMM-E6. This IP address will be used for the sending and receiving of SNMP data and should be configured for the interface with a connection to the network management station. If the network management station is located on a different network or subnet, the Default Interface and Default Gateway must be properly configured to allow the proper functioning of SNMP management.
