Chapter 1: AT-CV5M02 Management Card
28
Access to Your Network
The management card must be able to access your network if it will be
performing any of these functions:
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
The requirements for these management functions are listed here:
ˆ The management card must have an IP address configuration. The
configuration can be assigned manually or supplied by a BOOTP or
DHCP server on your network. For instructions, refer to “Assigning an
IP Address Configuration” on page 80.
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 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.
