iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III
CHAPTER 3: CONFIGURATION
SOFTW ARE CONFIGURATION
The following sections describe the features that can be configured.
ASSIGNING IP INFORMATION
When the iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III is installed in an iMediaChassis, use UMA to
manage the iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III without an IP address. (Refer to the iView²
online help for more information on UMA.) When the iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III is
not installed in an iMediaChassis, SNMP management is not accessible until the
iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III IP information (e.g., IP address, subnet mask, etc.) is
configured (using iConfig, a serial port craft connection, or DHCP). After
assigning iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III an IP address, use iView² or another SNMP-
compatible Network Management System (NMS) to remotely configure, monitor
and manage the iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III.
UNIFIED MANAGEMENT AGENT (UMA)
Centralized management makes practical sense for networks of all sizes,
especially service provider networks that must monitor and upgrade large
quantities of devices. The Unified Management Agent (UMA) allows operators to
manage all devices installed in a B+B iMediaChassis with a single IP address
from a central location. In addition, UMA allows users to centrally manage and
administer firmware upgrades over multiple devices.
AUTO NEGOTIATION, DUPLEX MODE AND SPEED
The DATA and EXT MGMT ports on the iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III module Auto
Negotiate for speed and duplex. This module also provides the option of
selectively advertising or forcing the speed and duplex .
The iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III ships from the factory with Auto Negotiation enabled
on the twisted-pair ports. In this mode, the ports negotiate for speed and duplex.
FORCING THE SPEED AND DUPLEX MODE
Manually set the twisted-pair ports on the iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III for 10 Mbps or
100, or 1000 Mbps operation at Half-Duplex or Full-Duplex (i.e., 10 Mbps Full-
Duplex, 10 Mbps Half-Duplex, 100 Mbps Full-Duplex, 100 Mbps Half-Duplex,
1000 Mbps Full-Duplex, 1000 Mbps Half-Duplex). The Optics port operates at
1000Mbps Full-Duplex for fixed fiber transceivers, and can support 100Mbps as
well as Gigabit fiber SFPs.
