4.4.2 SNMP Configuration
To ensure that you can successfully monitor your new system, you will need to connect it to a local or
private hub using a standard RJ-45 Ethernet Cable. Connect one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port,
located to the right of the power supply modules, and the other end to your local area network
connector. In case you connect the chassis to a local computer/laptop is sure to use a Hub with a regular
network cable or a crossover cable without a Hub.
The SNMP module in the EB7-X8G2-RAS system is configured for DHCP access (though this setting can
be changed as described in the next section). Once the chassis is turned on it will be assigned an IP
address by your network’s DHCP server.
If you have access to your network’s DHCP server make sure to look up and write down that IP address.
In any other case you will need to use the
IPsetup.exe
utility to discover the IP address that was
assigned to the chassis. It can be downloaded in the SNMP section of the OSS driver downloads at:
http://www.OSS.com/drivers.asp
Double click on the utility icon after your chassis has been connected to the network and powered on. It will then identify your chassis based on
its MAC address and display the following information.
In this case the IPsetup utility has found the EB7-X8G2-RAS chassis at IP address 192.168.1.10.
To verify we’ve successfully detected the EB7-X8G2-RAS on our network press on the
Launch Webpage
button or open your browser and direct
it to the new found IP address of the chassis (in our case it will be: http://192.168.1.10).
