  • Page 7: Introduction

    1. INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the CHASSIS, the 12-slot converter management rack. The CHASSIS, with advanced management to increase network performance, is designed to be the carrier's conversion chassis aiming at the application that require monitoring point-to- point connection for the deployment of FTTX. In order to ease administrators’ daily maintenance and operation load, a network management converter is equipped within the CHASSIS.

  • Page 8: Management Preparation

    You can use standard SNMP-based network management system, such as HP OpenView, to manage the CHASSIS and any of the installed slide-in converter modules remotely through the 10/100Base-T network correction. When you use a SNMP-based network management system, the CHASSIS becomes one of the managed devices (network elements) in that system.
  • Page 9 IP addresses are made up in two parts:  The first part (168.168 in the example) refers as the network address identifying the network on which the device resides. Network addresses are assigned by three allocation organizations. Depending on your location, each allocation organization assigns a globally unique network number to each network that wishes to connect to the Internet.

    2. Command Line Interface (CLI) This chapter describes how to use your CHASSIS Console Program, specifically in:  Local Console Management (out-of-band)  Telnet Management (in-band)  Configuring the system  Resetting the system The interface and options are mostly the same in both Local Console and Telnet Management.

    2.2 Remote Console Management - Telnet You can use Command Line Interface to manage the Chassis via Telnet session. For first- time users, you must first assign a unique IP address to the CHASSIS before you can manage it remotely. Use any one of the RJ-45 ports on the front panel as the temporary management console port to login to the device with the default username &...

It is part of the TCP/IP protocol suite. SNMP enables network administrators to manage network performance, find and solve network problems, and plan for network growth. SNMP consists following key components, Managed device is a network node that contains SNMP agent.

    APPENDIX A: DHCP Auto-Provisioning Setup Networking devices, such as switches or gateways, with DHCP Auto-provisioning function allow you to automatically upgrade firmware and configuration at startup process. Before setting up DHCP Server for auto-upgrade of firmware and configuration, please make sure the Chassis that you purchased supports DHCP Auto-provisioning.
  • Page 95 Step 2. Set Up Auto Provision Server  Update DHCP client Linux Fedora 12 supports “yum” function by default. First of all, update DHCP client function by issuing “yum install dhclient” command.  Install DHCP server Issue “yum install dhcp” command to install DHCP server.
  • Page 96  Copy dhcpd.conf to /etc/dhcp/ directory Copy dhcpd.conf file provided by the vendor to /etc/dhcp/ directory. Please note that each vendor has its own way to define auto-provisioning. Make sure to use the file provided by the vendor.  Enable and run DHCP service 1.
  • Page 97 Step 3. Modify dhcpd.conf File  Open dhcpd.conf file in /etc/dhcp/ directory Double-click dhcpd.conf placed in /etc/dhcp/ directory to open it.
  • Page 98  Modify dhcpd.conf file The following marked areas in dhcpd.conf file can be modified with values that work with your networking environment. 1. Define DHCP default and maximum lease time in seconds. Default lease time: If a client does not request a specific IP lease time, the server will assign a default lease time value.
  • Page 99 5. This value is configurable and can be defined by users. 6. Specify the protocol used (Protocol 1: FTP; Protocol 0: TFTP). 7. Specify the FTP or TFTP IP address. 8. Login TFTP server anonymously (TFTP does not require a login name and password). 9.
