Configuring Control Modules
and System Timing
Control module configuration overview
The primary (or single) control module controls the operations of the Stinger unit. It
manages and boots the LIMs, maintains a central repository of the unit’s
configuration, performs call control and processing operations, and manages all
centralized functions, such as SNMP access or communication with a RADIUS server.
The secondary control module, if present, does not perform controller operations
unless the primary control module resets or you manually change the primary or
secondary status of the control modules. However, you can Telnet into the secondary
control module and run commands. The secondary control module has up-to-date
configuration and system activity information.
Basic control module configuration includes the following tasks:
■
Connecting a console workstation to the serial port on the primary (or single)
control module of the Stinger unit
■
Logging into the Stinger unit
■
Changing default security settings to protect the unit
■
Configuring IP to make the system accessible by Telnet, SNMP, and Ping
■
Configuring RADIUS access (if appropriate)
■
Checking the Redundancy profile settings, and modifying them if appropriate
Stinger units equipped with the IP2000 or IP12100 IP control modules can also be
configured to support termination and aggregation of RFC 1483 Asynchronous
Transfer Mode (ATM) PVCs, IGMP multicast v1/v2 and IEEE 802.1Q tagged virtual
local area networks (VLANs). Information about these capabilities is contained in the
Stinger IP Control Modules Configuration Guide
. However, the information in this guide
