Appendix G Setting Up the Model 281xSA Hub
Configuration File
The Setup program with your SynOptics network management software
installs a sample Model 281xSA hub configuration file, called 281sa100.cfg. In
order to use a BootP server, you must modify this sample configuration file or
create one of your own.
You can edit the configuration file with any ASCII text editor, such as the
Windows Notepad. Lines beginning with the # character are considered
comments. You can modify the sample file for your own use by uncommenting
the appropriate keyword lines and specifying the parameter values.
Sample Configuration File
This section provides an example of a complete Model 281xSA hub
configuration file. The meanings of the data fields are described in the next
section, “Configuration Parameters.”
The IP addresses for default router and trap receivers have been left as
dummies (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) in the sample files, so as not to accidentally use
a real IP address. You must replace the dummy sequences with real addresses
appropriate to your network.
You must specify a pathname and a filename for the network management
image file; there is no default for this parameter.
NOTE:
Each managed hub on your network requires a unique configuration
file.
CAUTION:
Before you edit a Model 281xSA hub configuration file, make a
backup copy of the file for reference.
NOTE:
The network management image file Parameter must begin in the first
column; otherwise, that line is ignored by the Model 281xSA hub.
