iTap GigaBit Dual Port Aggregator
Planning the Installation
Before you begin the installation of your iTap, you should determine the following information:
•IP address of the iTap or, if you are deploying multiple iTaps, a range of IP addresses.
•Net Mask for the iTaps.
•IP address of the remote management console, if deployed over a WAN.
•Gateway to the remote management console, if deployed over a WAN.
Also make sure you have a suitable location to install the iTap(s). For maximum power redundancy, use two independent power sources.
Configuring the iTap
The iTap is configured with default values that allow you to install the iTap and then modify parameters from Web Manager or System Manager.
The defaults values are:
IP Address: 10.60.0.123
Netmask: 255.255.0.0
Threshold Port A: 50%
Threshold Port B: 50%
Port A: Gigabit
Port B: Gigabit
CLI username: netoptics
CLI password: netoptics
You can set all parameters, check status, and view statistics from the Command Line Interface. You can change most settings later from one of the remote inter- faces (for more information on remote interfaces, see Chapters 4 and 5).
Using the Command Line Interface (CLI)
All configuration options, status, and statistics are accessible from the iTap's Command Line Interface. You must set a new username and password, IP address for the iTap, utilization threshold levels for Port A and B, and the current date and time. Other parameters are optional and dependent on your installation.
