System Administration
This chapter provides all the instructions and procedures necessary for system
administrators to manage the AG 5000 on the customer’s network (after a successful
installation).
The system administration procedures in this chapter are organized as they are listed
under their respective Web Management Interface (WMI) menus (
Configuration ,
Network Info , Port-Location , Subscriber Administration , Subscriber Interface , and
System ).
Choosing a Remote Connection
Once installed and configured for the customer’s network, the AG 5000 can be
managed and administered remotely with any of the following interface options:
‹
Embedded Web Management Server – providing a powerful and flexible
Web interface for network administrators.
‹
SNMP Manager – allowing remote “Windows” management using an
SNMP client manager (for example, HP OpenView). However, before you
can use SNMP to access the AG 5000, you must set up the appropriate
SNMP communities. For more information, refer to
“Managing the SNMP
Communities {SNMP}” on page 111 .
‹
Telnet Client – for “character-based” administration and management,
using the Command Line Interface (CLI).
Choose an interface connection, based on your preference.
Now that the AG 5000 has been installed and configured successfully,
this User’s Guide moves away from the Command Line Interface (CLI)
and documents the AG 5000 from the Web Management Interface
(WMI) viewpoint.
To use any of the remote connections (Web, SNMP, or Telnet), the
network interface IP address for the AG 5000 must be established (you
did this during the installation process).
