4.2.1.1 STATE
The Management port state may be either UP or DOWN as below:
UP
Management port is active and will pass traffic
DOWN
Management Port is down and is inactive.
For normal operation the state must be up.
Note, when ZTC is enabled the state shows as down while the unit is listening for
the beacon to determine the correct management WAN interface and the correct
S-Tag/C-Tag combination. As soon as the beacon is received, the state will
automatically assume the UP state.
4.2.1.2 Physical Address
This is a display item only, and shows the unit MAC Address.
4.2.1.3 DHCP
DHCP allows the FCM9002 to get an IP address automatically from a centrally
administered server.
DHCP can be enabled, or disabled where the IP address must be manually
configured on each unit.
When DHCP is enabled, a unit powers up and broadcasts a DHCP request for an
address. Once a server hears the request, it will respond with an address the
unit can use.
DHCP is always enabled when ZTC is used.
4.2.1.4 IP Address
In order to access the FCM9002 remotely it must be configured with an IP
address. This may be obtained either using DHCP, in which case this will be
configured automatically, or Manually if DHCP is disabled.
The IP address should be entered in the format AA.BB.CC.DD
By default, the unit assumes the IP address 169.254.42.42 regardless of whether
DHCP is enabled or not. If a DHCP in enabled and a server does not respond
then it will keep this address, otherwise it will assume the DHCP supplied
address.
