ENDING THE SESSION
Press E to end a serial port or Telnet/HyperTerminal session before disconnecting the
serial cable. This will stop the continuous stream of data to the serial port.
REBOOTING THE UNIT
To reboot the iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III, type reboot from the main screen or the command
menu.
ENABLING/DISABLING DHCP
To toggle DHCP on the iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III between enable and disable, press D and
then Y. Press the Space Bar once to return to the main screen without making any
changes.
DHCP DISABLE (STATIC IP ADDRESSING)
DHCP is disabled in the default configuration. Initially, modules are assigned a Static
default IP Address of 10.10.10.10. Changes to the Static IP Address can be added
manually through iView 2 (iConfig view), an RS-232 serial session, or a Console session.
The changes will be initiated following reboot of the module.
DHCP ENABLE (DYNAMIC IP ADDRESSING)
If a DHCP server is present on the network and DHCP is enabled, 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 management card. Once the new IP address is received, the SNMP
Management Module will reboot so that the new IP address will take effect. Refer to
About Serial Port Configuration for more information about Enabling/Disabling DHCP.
When there is no DHCP server on the network, use the serial configuration to manually set
the IP addresses.
When DHCP is enabled, the IP address (default 10.10.10.10 or a previously used IP
address, or user-configured) is saved. When DHCP is disabled, the saved IP address will
be reinstated and the device will reboot.
DHCP servers give out lease times: devices renew their leases based on the
administrator-specified time. If a device cannot renew its lease, and the lease expires,
the device will be given the IP address 10.10.10.10 or the previously saved IP and will
reboot.
