Managed Modules; Configuration Control - IMC Networks IE-iMcV-Gigabit Operation Manual

Managed Modules

To manage one or more IE-iMcV-Gigabit Modules, an SNMP agent must be present
in the chassis: To configure Managed Modules, install the module first, and then
configure using the management software.

Configuration Control

Some iMcV-Modules offer Configuration Control; labels on the front faceplate are
identified as such. Configuration Control has been implemented to assist the end user
by retaining the latest configuration regardless of how that configuration was
implemented (via DIP Switch settings or SNMP).
Historically, SNMP would override DIP Switch settings. If changes are made via DIP
Switch settings, then hardware settings determine the configuration of the board. If
changes are made to the module via iView
configuration of the board.
Utilizing Configuration Control, the end user has three conditions under which the
configuration of the iMcV-Module may be impacted:
•
Installing an IE-iMcV-Gigabit into a chassis already loaded with iMcV-Modules or
replacing an IE-iMcV-Gigabit
- The iMcV-Module will transfer its saved configurations. The IE-iMcV-Gigabit
will not override the module's configuration.
•
Replacing the same type of iMcV-Module
If the DIP Switch settings are the same as the settings on the removed iMcV-
-
Module, the IE-iMcV-Gigabit determines the configuration settings.
If the DIP Switch settings are different, then the configuration of the module
-
is determined by the DIP Switch settings. (The settings are forwarded to the
IE-iMcV-Gigabit and the value is saved.)
•
Installing a new model of iMcV-Module
If another type of module is installed into the same slot in a chassis, the IE-
-
iMcV-Gigabit clears the memory of the previous configuration for that slot;
the settings of a new module are adopted and stored in the IE-iMcV-Gigabit
The SNMP Write Lock switch does not impact any iMcV-Module or IE-iMcV-Module
with Configuration Control. Removing and installing a new SNMP Management
Module will no longer impact these modules either. However, if there is a mixture of
iMcV-Modules with and without Configuration Control, the Write Lock Switch and a
new SNMP Management Module must be taken into consideration.
If the command cleandb is applied to an SNMP Management Module, all the settings
for the modules will be removed, but the Configuration Control modules will still be
