MANAGED MODULES
To manage one or more iMcV-Giga-MediaLinX TX/SFP (s), an SNMP agent
must be present in the chassis. To configure Managed Modules, the end user
can set DIP Switches or use the iView² software.
CONFIGURATION CONTROL & SNMP MANAGEMENT
As SNMP needs have grown, many network administrators who own the
iMediaChassis series are installing an SNMP Management Module to manage
and monitor B+B devices in the network. As a result, B+B SmartWorx offers
Configuration Control on many iMcV modules that if offers.
Configuration Control solves these issues:
1.
When non-Configuration Control iMcV modules are placed in a managed
chassis, the iMcV module's DIP Switches are ignored and the iMcV
module is configured by the chassis' management module. If the
management module is removed or fails, the iMcV modules will revert
back to the DIP Switch settings. When an iMcV module changes from
management module settings to DIP Switch settings, the traffic across the
iMcV module will drop for a very brief period of time.
2.
When introducing a management module to a chassis full of working non-
Configuration Control iMcV modules, the iMcV modules will stop using the
DIP Switch setting and start using the management module settings.
When an iMcV module changes from DIP Switch setting to management
module settings, the traffic across the iMcV modules will drop for a very
brief period of time.
3.
When removing an old iMcV module and replacing it with a different model
iMcV module, the configuration of the old iMcV module remains.
Configuration Control supports these features:
1.
Any module, iMcV module or management module, can be changed
under power without losing any configuration.
2.
The Management module can be added to a chassis without losing any
configuration.
3.
The Management module should not be "Mission Critical". If the
management module should be removed or fail the iMcV modules should
not experience an interruption in service.
4.
Any module, including the management module, can be changed with the
identical module under power; and the configuration from the removed
module will be automatically copied to the new module.
