Cabling and Configuration
Configuring Ethernet Ports
Since the NSG is monitored and configured also by a remote
management system, you must set the IP addresses of the Ethernet ports
located on the back panel of the NSG.
The NSG uses the Ethernet port labeled ETH1 to communicate with the
management network. You may set the ETH1 IP address, subnet mask
and default gateway. For ETH 2 you may configure only its IP address and
subnet mask.
To configure the Ethernet ports, you may use either of the following tools:
MCT (Mass Configuration
Tool
BOOTP
Web client
Control Panel
The following sections describe how to configure individual NSG devices
using the control panel of the unit.
When you configure the network parameters of ETH ports via the control
panel, the application checks the validity of the IP address and network
group parameters.
Note: Any configuration requires a password. Call harmonic
Customer Support to obtain a password. See Appendix D, "Customer
Support Information", for Customer Support contact information.
