Chapter 2 Provisioning

Chapter 2 Telnet Provisioning

2.1 Introduction

This chapter will go into the details of the specific provisioning and operation of the

FRM220A

. Broken into two

parts, the first part outlines the procedures and functions to setup or determine the TCP/IP configuration. The
second section will outline the operation when using a network connection, including the Web based management.

All of the features and controls described in this chapter require the

FRM220A

chassis to have the

GSW/SNMP

(Gigabit Switch SNMP Controller) installed. The Management System is a collection of two control modes for the

FRM220A

. The simplest and most basic mode is "Telnet Console Mode". The Telnet mode is a local or remote

control which requires a Telnet connection to the

GSW/SNMP

card. Provisioning and monitoring are performed

through a series of menus and menu selection items. All changes made to cards through Telnet are executed
immediately or when escaping a menu and do not require any separate 'save' operations. Management via TCP/IP
also includes using a web browser or any network management software after compiling the enterprise MIB-II
compliant file for

FRM220A-GSW/SNMP

. A MIB browser provides another simple platform for the user to setup

using the SNMP protocol remotely.

2.2 IP Address Setup

When delivered from the factory, the GSW/SNMP has default settings as follows:
IP: 192.168.1.1
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.254

The default user ID is ‘admin’ and password is blank.

2.2.1 Read IP Address

If the IP address has been set but forgotten, use this simple procedure to read the setting.

Refer to the back of

FRM220A CH20

, specifically the

GSW/SNMP

card. Note that there is an LED matrix made up

of three rows of LEDs with 13 LED in each row. Just to the right of the LED matrix is the ‘default’ recessed push-
button switch.

The first five LED in the three rows will form a dot-matrix where numeric information will be displayed, specifically
the IP address, character by character. Press the default push button for 1 to 2 full seconds and not more.

Immediately the matrix will display the decimal separated IP address, character by character, including the decimal
points for about 1 second for each character.

Note that the decimal characters are displayed with a 90 degree clock-wise rotation.

Prior to any initial use of the LAN interfaces on the

GSW/SNMP

card, the configuration settings for networking

must be performed. These include the IP address and subnet mask, the network's default gateway, and lastly the
IP addresses of the management workstations that will be managing the system via SNMP protocol. The rear panel
of the

GSW/SNMP

card provides the connections and indicators.

The LAN connectors are a matrix of LEDs which will be Green to indicate a good link state and flashing to

indicate traffic transmission. The LED will not light if there is no link.

A unique feature of the

GSW/SNMP

is the ability to restore all the previous settings in case some unexpected

event occurs such as the sudden power loss. After power is restored all the settings will be restored to each line
card and remote units that apply.
