In addition to assigning an IP address and subnet mask, the latter two
methods will also allow you to create community strings, assign access
rights, configure traps and more. However,
HUBCTRL32
offers more
options than configuring via the serial port (e.g., you can select
which
traps
to assign with
HUBCTRL32
).
After assigning a
Media Converter System II
chassis an IP address, you
can use
iiV
Viie
ew
w
™
or another SNMP-compatible Network Management
System (NMS) to remotely configure, monitor and manage the
SNMP
Modules
installed within the unit (see page 6 of this guide for more infor-
mation).
Management of the
Media Converter System II
may be disabled by
moving the switch labeled “SNMP” to “OFF.” By doing this, individual
modules will no longer be managed, but the SNMP agent will continue to
communicate. As the modules are now unmanaged, all settings for the
modules revert to those established by hardware jumpers or switches.
Turning management back on will return the modules to management
control and any settings previously established via software.

There is a DHCP client in the
Media Converter System II
chassis. By
default, the DHCP client is disabled. If a DHCP server is present on the
network, the DHCP client will initiate a dialogue with the server during the
boot up sequence. The server will then issue an IP address to the
Media
Converter System II
chassis. Once the new IP address is received,
Media
Converter System II
will reboot so that the new IP address will take effect.
See the
About Serial Port Configuration
section for Enable/Disable informa-
tion.
If there is no DHCP server on the network, use
HUBCTRL32
or serial
configuration to manually set the IP addresses.

HUBCTRL32
(Hub Control 32) is an in-band configuration utility that
lets users quickly and easily complete the first stages of SNMP configura-
tion for Black Box SNMP-manageable devices.
Tasks
HUBCTRL32
can perform include:
•
setting the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway
•
defining the community strings and SNMP traps
In addition to the above functions,
HUBCTRL32
offers an authorized IP
address system and access restriction to MIB (
Management Information
Base
) groups supported by Black Box manageable devices. These extra lay-
ers of security are purely optional and do not affect SNMP compatibility in
any way.
