Chapter 6: Network Tab
The Network tab allows you to configure settings for the
management network.
There are two ways to access the airFiber Configuration
Interface:
•
Management Port
Enabled by default. Use a direct
connection to the Management port for out-of-band
management.
•
In-Band Management
Enabled by default. In-band
management is available through the local Data port or
the Data port at the other end of the link.
The Management port and in-band management share
the default IP address of 192.168.1.20.
Change
To save or test your changes, click Change.
A new message appears. You have three options:
•
Apply
To immediately save your changes, click Apply.
•
Test
To try the changes without saving them, click
Test. To keep the changes, click Apply. If you do not
click Apply within 180 seconds (the countdown is
displayed), the AF-5X times out and resumes its earlier
configuration.
•
Discard
To cancel your changes, click Discard.
Management Network Settings
In-Band Management
Enabled by default. In-band
management is available through the local Data port or
the Data port at the other end of the link.
Note:
If In-Band Management is enabled, ensure that
each airFiber radio of a link has a unique IP Address. If
the airFiber radios use the same IP Address, then you
may lose access via the Data ports.
Management IP Address
The AF-5X can use a static IP
address or obtain an IP address from its DHCP server.
•
DHCP
Keep the default, DHCP, to use DHCP reservation
on your router to assign a unique IP Address. The local
DHCP server assigns a reserved IP address, gateway IP
address, and DNS address to the AF-5X.
Note:
If you select the DHCP option, ensure that
you use DHCP reservation because if you do not
know the IP address, then the only way to manage
the AF-5X is to reset the AF-5X to its factory default
settings. (Press and hold the Reset button for
more than five seconds.) Its default Management IP
Address is reset to 192.168.1.20.
-
DHCP Fallback IP
Specify the IP address the AF-5X
should use if a DHCP server is not found.
-
DHCP Fallback Netmask
Specify the netmask the
AF-5X should use if a DHCP server is not found.
•
Static
Assign static IP settings to the AF-5X.
Note:
IP settings should be consistent with the
address space of the AF-5X’s network segment.
