Gigabit Ethernet switch, proceed to Chapter 2. This manual is used to explain the configuration of the FRM220A-GSW/SNMP (Gigabit Switch / SNMP Controller) and operating procedures. This manual is divided into 4 Sections, the Introduction, Provisioning, Web Based Management and Trouble Shooting, plus the Appendices.
Chapter 1 Introduction 1.4 Chassis Front Description The front of FRM220A contains the line card slots. They are numbered 1 through 20, from left to right as viewed from the front. The typical configuration is with one GSW/SNMP (Network Management Controller) card in rear slot and manageable line cards in any front slot numbered 1 through 20.

Chapter 1 Introduction 1.9 FRM220A Fault Handling The FRM220A management is designed is such a way as to minimize any disruption to normal traffic in the event of any single component failure and to allow rapid recovery of full operations through replacement of FRUs (Field Replaceable Units).
Chapter 1 Introduction 1.10 FRM220A Application The FRM220 is an excellent choice for complimenting fiber infrastructure in Metro LAN, campus, corporate buildings, factories, or in FTTx applications. It can also be deployed in a mobile backhaul application for packet transport. With standard SNMP management, carriers or Internet Service Providers will have confidence to deploy a solution that provides the necessary remote monitoring and configuration features.
'save' operations. Management via TCP/IP also includes using a web browser or any network management software after compiling the enterprise MIB-II compliant file for FRM220A-GSW/SNMP. A MIB browser provides another simple platform for the user to setup using the SNMP protocol remotely.
To enter "Telnet mode", a user ID (default is admin) is required and a password may be required. By default, there is no password set from the factory. The user password provides security to protect the system. CTC UNION TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. FRM220A-GSW/SNMP VER.[1.021]...

IP network. The system provides a Telnet server feature that allows login over TCP/IP networks and provides a text based menu display. The FRM220A-GSW/SNMP is supplied with an enterprise MIB file (Management Information Base) that can be compiled into any standard SNMP network management software. The MIB file complies with MIB-II and ANS.1 standards.

Chapter 4 Troubleshooting Chapter 4 Troubleshooting 4.1 Network Settings 4.1.1 Review TCP/IP Settings During unit startup, the LED ‘Matrix’ will flash as the switch boots up, and then any slots with cards or any of the 4+4 SFP/Copper ports with n Ethernet link will light during normal operation. Refer to Chapter 2 section 2.2.5 TCP/IP Configuration for the SNMP agent settings.
Chapter 4 Troubleshooting 4.1.2 Review Manager Settings For SNMP management software to connect to the GSW for management, the GSW/SNMP must be properly configured with the manager's IP address and authorized for read/write (via community string setting) and trap messages. Review the settings explained in 2.2.5 TCP/IP Configuration. If the management workstation is on a remote network, ensure it can also pass the ping test.
