iMcV-LIM
5
MANAGED MODULES
To manage one or more iMcV-LIM(s), an SNMP agent must be present in the
chassis. To configure Managed Modules, install the module first, and then
configure using the management software.
Fiber type, serial number and date code are now loaded into the NVRAM
during manufacturing. This is viewed only via iView² software, within the
modules details.
Requirements:
•
SNMP Firmware version C2
•
iView² 1.8.6 or higher
NOTE
:
For iMcV-LIM modules without Configuration Control, management software
overrides any hardware settings (e.g., jumper, switch, etc.); a module must be configured
so that it will be managed via the software.
IMCV-LIM & CONFIGURATION CONTROL
The iMcV-LIM with SFP offers Configuration Control; a label on the front
faceplate identifies the unit as such. Configuration Control has been
implemented to assist the end user by retaining the latest configuration
regardless of how that configuration was implemented (via DIP Switch settings
or SNMP).
Historically, SNMP would override DIP Switch settings. If changes are made
via DIP Switch settings, then hardware settings determine the configuration of
the board. If changes are made to the module via iView
2
, the SNMP settings
determine the configuration of the board.
Utilizing Configuration Control, the end user has three conditions under which
the configuration of the iMcV module may be impacted:
•
Installing an iMcV-LIM into a chassis already loaded with iMcV modules
or replacing an iMcV-LIM
-
The iMcV module will transfer its saved configurations. The iMcV-LIM
will not override the module’s configuration.
•
Replacing the same type of iMcV module
-
If the DIP Switch settings are the same as the settings on the
removed iMcV module, the iMcV-LIM determines the configuration
settings.
-
If the DIP Switch settings are different, then the configuration of the
module is determined by the DIP Switch settings. (The settings are
forwarded to the iMcV-LIM and the value is saved.)
•
Installing a new model of iMcV module
