Step 1: Network Settings [Wizard]
In Wizard Mode, selecting "Step 1: Network Settings” brings up a form for
reconfiguring existing network settings. During initial setup of the KVM, the
administrator configures the default basic network settings that were needed
to enable logins through the Web Manager. (See “Performing Basic Network
Configuration” on page 87, if desired, for more information about the initial
network configuration.) You can skip this step if the current settings are
correct. Check with your network administrator if you are not sure.
Before making any changes to existing network settings, you may want to
review “Collecting Basic Network Information” on page 84, which provides a
form to record information you need to collect ahead of time. See “To Change
Network Settings [Wizard]” on page 127 for the procedure.
In Expert mode, under Configuration>Network, you can specify additional
networking-related information: a Console Banner, a secondary IP address
and secondary network mask, and an MTU. See “To Configure Host Settings
[Expert]” on page 190. In Expert mode under Configuration>Network, you
can configure syslog servers for ports; specify rules for filtering syslog
messages, specify PCMCIA card, Virtual Private Network (VPN), and SNMP
settings; specify IP filtering rules (for the KVM to act as a firewall), and
perform other advanced configuration tasks.
