  • Page 16 iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III PASSWORD PROTECTION FOR SERIAL PORT CONNECTIONS Password/username is not offered for the serial port by default. This allows the end user to quickly access the device for basic configuration capability. Password protection is provided for the serial configuration process by pressing P on the main configuration screen.
  • Page 17 iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III CREATING COMMUNITY STRINGS Community strings add a level of security to a network. The default community string is named "public" and has read/write access. For security, "public" should be replaced with custom community strings such as ones created with read-only access (for general use), and another with read/write access (for administrator).

    iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III 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 (iConfig view), an RS-232 serial session, or a Console session. The changes will be initiated following reboot of the module.

  • Page 21 iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III OPERATIONAL MODE CONFIGURATION There are three modes of operation that can be configured through the Serial/Telnet session: Mode 1, supports a mixture of tagged and untagged traffic; Mode 2 Extra tagging; and Mode 3, VLAN Filter. OPERATION MODE 1 – MIXED TAGGED & UNTAGGED FRAMES In this mode, all tagged and untagged frames pass on any given port.
  • Page 22 iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III OPERATION MODE 2 PORT BASED XTRA TAGGING Any port can be configured for extra tags on the frames. Press the down arrow on the computer keyboard to access the additional configuration commands.
  • Page 23 iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III By default, the device is set up to access ports. However, one must be configured to be a trunk port.
  • Page 24 iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III The Optics port and the Data port can be configured as an access port or a trunk port. When configuring as a trunk port, an Ethertype can be user-defined (a trunk port is also defined as a provider port, based on 802.1ad). If an Ethertype value comes in a trunk port and is different than the user-defined Ethertype, it will be treated as an unrecognized VLAN tagged frame.
  • Page 25 iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III NOTE: It is strongly recommended that customers configure modules to segregate management traffic from data traffic. This is accomplished by assigning VLAN IDs. If the traffic is not segregated, any tests performed may not get the expected result. By segregating the types of traffic, the management network is secured from the customer’s network.

OPTICS PORT Ingress Bandwidth Monitors the traffic entering the unit (ingress), discarding traffic that exceeds a fixed Committed Information Rate (CIR) Limit (CIR) plus Burst Allocation (BA). Frames are not held in queue - they either meet the bandwidth limits and are accepted into the unit, or they are dropped.
