Snmp Configuration - Magma EB7-X8G2 User Manual

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 Magma driver
downloads at: http://www.magma.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).
CAUTION
Aside from reading an IP address, the IPsetup.exe utility can be used to set an IP
address other than the one assigned initially by the DHCP server—using the Set
button. It is recommended, however, not to use the utility for this purpose since we
will lose connectivity with the chassis until the machine running IPsetup.exe obtains
an IP address in the same IP subnet. The next section will show a preferred way of
accomplishing this via the browser interface. In case you need to back-trace any
of these steps, you can always reset the chassis back to its factory
