Chapter 6: Network Tab
The
Network
tab allows you to configure settings for the
management network. There are two ways to access the
airFiber Configuration Interface:
•
Management Port
Enabled by default. Use a direct
connection to the
Management
port for out-of-band
management.
•
In-Band Management
Enabled by default. In-band
management is available through the local
Data
port or
the
Data
port at the other end of the link.
The
Management
port and in-band management share
the default IP address of
192.168.1.20
.

Management Network Settings
In-Band Management
Enabled by default. In-band
management is available through the local
Data
port or
the
Data
port at the other end of the link.
Note:
If
In-Band Management
is enabled, ensure
that each airFiber X radio in a link has a unique
IP Address. If the airFiber X radios use the same IP
Address
, you may lose access via the
Data
ports.
Management IP Address
The airFiber X radio can use
a static IP address or obtain an IP address from its DHCP
server.
•
DHCP
Keep the default,
DHCP
, to use DHCP reservation
on your router to assign a unique IP Address
. The local
DHCP server assigns a reserved IP address, gateway IP
address, and DNS address to the airFiber X radio.
Note:
If you select the
DHCP
option, ensure that
you use DHCP reservation because if you do not
know the IP address, then the only way to manage
the airFiber X radio is to reset the airFiber X radio
to its factory default settings. (Press and hold
the
Reset
button for more than five seconds.)
Its default
Management IP Address
is reset to
192.168.1.20
.
-
DHCP Fallback IP
Specify the IP address the
airFiber X radio should use if a DHCP server is not
found.
-
DHCP Fallback Netmask
Specify the netmask the
airFiber X radio should use if a DHCP server is not
found.
•
Static
Assign static IP settings to the airFiber X radio.
Note:
IP settings should be consistent with the
address space of the airFiber X radio’s network
segment.
