User’s Manual
For this, user need to configure IPv4/IPv6 address of required syslog server in the Ethernet Network
settings. This can be done by console based configuration utility through front serial console port, Telnet,
SSH and Webserver.
For setting syslog server IP address through serial console port, Telnet, SSH, refer section 9.2.
For setting syslog server IP address through webserver, refer section 13.4.
If operator does not require the log messages at any remote syslog server, user can set syslog server
address for server1 and server2 as 0.0.0.0. or :: This will stop sending log messages to remote server but
continue maintain log messages in internal /var/log/messages file.
The log messages file will continue log messages till the size of log file do not exceed 100Kbytes. If size
exceed this limit, the file will be cleared automatically and restart logging new messages. This file will also
be cleared at every Power ON of device. So, in order to maintain the log of messages, user can configure
remote syslog server to keep the record for long time or can also download the file using webserver
“Administration Page”.
13.6 DHCP
MTS200 can acquire dynamic IP address through DHCP Server available in LAN. At every power reboot
if DHCP option is enabled or ETH services restart or DHCP service restart, MTS200 will re-initiate the
process of acquiring IP address and other network related parameters from available DHCP Server in
LAN. It may take few seconds or minutes for acquiring the network settings by MTS200 and during this
period. If there is no DHCP server available, no network address will be acquired by MTS200 device.
DHCP option in MTS200 can be enabled / disabled via front panel keypad menu or console based
configuration utility or SNMP or Webserver.
Once IP address and other network parameters acquired, user can view the acquired network parameters
on LCD display in respected Ethernet port menu option. Thereafter, user can use the allocated IP
address to do completed configuration of MTS200 using console based configuration through SSH,
Telnet or Webserver.
INFORMATION
DHCP is applicable for both the interface
If there is no DHCP server available in network, IP address will be
mentioned as some garbage value or invalid address.
It is necessary that ethernet RJ-45 cable should be connected in network
before making DHCP enable. If eth0/eth1 cable is not connected before
making DHCP enable, user need to connect Ethernet cable and then
restart DHCP service or eth0/eth1 service from device keypad.
DHCP network for both the interface eth0 and eth1 must be different. If
both the interfaces are connected in the same DHCP server than eth0
and eth1 comes in same network which is only supported via Bonding
option.
