Configuring Remote Communication

To establish a remote communication link with a Cisco ONS 15501 through Telnet or SNMP, the unit must first be properly installed and powered up.

Configuring for Telnet

When the Cisco ONS 15501's Ethernet port is connected to other Ethernet switches for network management purposes, it is recommended that either end of the Ethernet port NOT be configured in auto-negotiation mode, and that both ends of the Ethernet connection be configured in either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, half or full duplex mode.

Note The 15501 default Ethernet boot mode is half-duplex 10 Mbps.

For additional information, please refer to the ethmode command.

Step 1 Connect the Cisco ONS 15501 to an Ethernet LAN using a standard RJ-45 cable.

Step 2 Make sure that the system network is properly set up using ping to the IP address of the system.
