Using the TSX-1620 Hub View
2-22 Managing the Device
Changing the Displayed Interface
The values and settings shown in the various fields in the window reflect the
current configuration of the TSX-1620 port (interface) index displayed in the
Interface field at the top of the window. If you change the interface number in the
Interface field to a different valid ifIndex, the values and settings in the other
fields will change to reflect the configuration of the new interface, allowing you to
change the configuration if desired. To change the displayed interface:
1. Highlight the contents of the Interface field, and type the ifIndex (interface
number) of the port that you wish to view. Press Enter or Return on your
keyboard, and the values and settings in the other fields in this window will
change to reflect the configuration of the specified interface.
Performing Interface Configuration
With the desired interface’s configuration displayed in the IF Configuration
window, you can change any of the settings for that interface, if desired. To do so:
1. Change the type of bridging to be used for the interface by clicking on the
menu button in the Bridge Type field to display the Bridge Type selection
menu. Select the desired bridging type (unknown, transparent only, source
route transparent, or source route only) from the menu. The menu will
disappear, and your selection will be displayed in the menu button.
2. Enable or disable NetBIOS Broadcast Reduction for the interface by selecting
the Enable or Disable option in the Net BIOS field.
3. Enable or disable Spanning Tree for the interface by selecting the Enable or
Disable option in the Spanning Tree field.
4. Assign a Token Ring priority level for the interface by highlighting the contents
of the Priority field, typing the desired priority value, and pressing Enter or
Return on your keyboard. You may assign any priority from 1 to 16.
5. Assign an IP address to the interface by highlighting the contents of the IP
Address field, typing the desired valid IP address in dotted decimal notation,
and pressing Enter or Return on your keyboard. All of the TSX-1620’s
interfaces should use the same address.
6. Define a subnet mask to be used on the interface’s IP address by highlighting
the contents of the Subnet Mask field, typing the desired valid subnet mask in
dotted decimal notation, and pressing Enter or Return on your keyboard. The
subnet mask defines the network and host portions of the IP address.
7. Define a gateway address to be used by the interface by highlighting the
contents of the Gateway Address field, typing the desired valid gateway
address in dotted decimal notation, and pressing Enter or Return on your
keyboard. The gateway address is used by SNMP/UDP when attempting to
traverse routed IP networks.
