Accessing Your Network
The management card must have access to your network to perform the
functions listed here:
ˆ Supporting remote Telnet, web browser, or SNMP management
ˆ Sending event messages to a syslog server
ˆ Setting the date and time from a Network Time Protocol server
ˆ Sending SNMP traps to trap receivers.
ˆ Uploading or downloading files to a TFTP server.
ˆ Pinging remote devices
Here are the requirements:
ˆ The management card must have an IP address configuration. You
can assign it manually or it can be supplied by a BOOTP or DHCP
server on your network. For instructions, refer to “Assigning an IP
Address Configuration” on page 100.
ˆ The card’s 10/100Base-TX port has to be connected to a device on
your network, such as an Ethernet switch. The management card
communicates with your network through that port.
ˆ If the chassis has two management cards, the 10/100Base-TX port on
the standby card should also be connected to your network so that in
the event the card becomes the active card, it, too, will be able to
support those management functions that require network access.
ˆ The management card should reside on the same subnet as the
remote devices (i.e., Telnet client, syslog server, or SNMP trap
receivers) or have access to their subnet through routers or other
Layer 3 routing devices.
ˆ If the management card and the remote devices reside on different
subnets, the card’s IP address configuration should include a default
gateway address that specifies the IP address of the router interface of
the first hop to reaching the remote devices.
