Configuring SNMP NMS Security

Configuring Node IP Information

Select Node IP to display, add, or change the information necessary to support
general IP communications for the node (see Table4-18, Node IP O ptions). When
deploying units to remote sites, minimally configure the Node IP Address and
Subnet Mask.
The Node IP set of configuration options includes a troubleshooting (TS)
management link feature that service providers can use to isolate network device
problems and allows unit link access via Telnet or FTP. Link troubleshooting is
essentially transparent to customer operations because no alar ms or SNMP traps
are generated.
The TS Management Link option is initially enabled. The unit ships from the factory
with a TS Management PVC already configured (e.g., 0,35). Any valid network
Management PVC created on a standard DLCI can be used. An assigned secur ity
level can control access and is recommended.
When a DLCI has been defined as the troubleshooting management link, the
link is identified in the status field at the bottom of the Management PVC E ntry
screen with the message:
Note: This PVC has been designated as the TS Access
Management Link.
Select Node IP from the Management and Communication menu.
