    Chapter 4 provides details about the DLE28-MA LANVIEW LEDs. 1.1.7 Year 2000 Compliant The DLE28-MA has an internal clock that can maintain the current time and date beyond the year 1999. 1.1.8 Runtime IP Address Discovery This feature enables the modules to automatically accept an IP address from a BootP server on the network into NVRAM without requiring a user to enter an IP address through Local Management.

  • Page 33: Local Management Features

    700 chassis can be viewed as a single entity with a single IP address. Its management functions are distributed to all modules. This means a single module in the chassis, such as the DLE28-MA, can be used to manage the entire chassis, and any other attached module through Local Management, SNMP, or Telnet applications.

    5.15.2 Setting the Subnet Mask If the management workstation that is to receive SNMP traps from the DLE28-MA is located on a separate subnet, the subnet mask for the DLE28-MA must be changed from its default. To change the subnet mask from its default, perform the following steps: 1.

  • Page 104: Setting The Default Gateway

    If the SNMP management station is located on a different IP subnet than the DLE28-MA, a default gateway must be specified. When an SNMP Trap is generated, the DLE28-MA sends the Trap to the default gateway. To set the default gateway, perform the following steps: 1.
