4. Configuration Options

Setting Up Management and Communication

Options available from the Management and Communication menu are described in the following sections:

Configuring Node IP Information

Configuring Management PVCs

Configuring General SNMP Management

Configuring Telnet and/or FTP Sessions

Configuring SNMP NMS Security

Configuring SNMP Traps

Configuring Ethernet Management

Configuring the Communication Port

￿Configuring the COM Port to Support an External Modem

Configuring Node IP Information

Select Node IP to display, add, or change the information necessary to support general IP communications for the node (see Table 4-18, Node IP Options). 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 alarms 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 security 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 Entry 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.
