Reboot the SNMP management module with the reboot command to enable

changes.

After rebooting, set the SNMP Write Lock switch back to OFF. The previously

made settings are now active.

When an SNMP card is removed while the Write Lock switch is set to ON, the current

application module settings are retained.

Never power-cycle the chassis while the Write Lock switch is set to ON. This will

reset the SNMP card back to its original factory settings.

SNMP (iView ) communication with the chassis is disabled when the Write Lock

switch is set to ON.

Using Telnet

The iMediaChassis/3 supports Telnet for remote configuration. Assign the

iMediaChassis/3 an IP address before using a Telnet session (refer to the Assigning IP

Information section for more information). All of the configurations that are available

from the serial port are also available from Telnet. Use only one Telnet session at a

time. Do not use an RS-232 serial session and a Telnet session at the same time.

A Telnet session uses the same password as the iConfig application.

There is a DHCP client in the iMediaChassis/3. By default, the DHCP client is

disabled. If a DHCP server is present on the network and DHCP is enabled, the

DHCP client will initiate a dialogue with the server during the boot up sequence.

The server will then issue an IP address to the iMediaChassis/3. Once the new IP

address is received, the iMediaChassis/3 will reboot so that the new IP address will

take effect. Refer to the About Serial Port Configuration for more information about

Enabling/Disabling DHCP. When there is no DHCP server on the network, use

iConfig or serial configuration to manually set the IP addresses.

When DHCP is enabled, the IP address (default 10.10.10.10 or user configured) is

saved. When DHCP is disabled, the saved IP address will be reinstated and the

device will reboot.

DHCP servers give out lease times: devices renew their leases based on the

administrator-specified time. If a device cannot renew its lease, and the lease

expires, the device will be given the IP address 10.10.10.10 and will reboot.
