3 IP-Less Management in HO ST/REMOTE configurations A proprietary, secure management c ommun ica tion channel is supported whe never the Giga-Access EtherLinX -II unit is connec ted directly t o an iMcV -GigaFiberLin X-II unit over the Fib er Uplink.
4 About iView² Unit Ma nagement iView² is a network manageme nt application for IMC Networks’ intelligent networking devices. It feature s a GUI, which provides network managers the ability to monitor an d control IM C Networks’ pr oducts. The ap plication is available in several ver sions in cluding Web -Server ve rsion 3.
5 SNMP, Telnet and Con sole Management SNMP, Te lnet, and iConfig management ch annels are always support ed through the Giga-AccessEtherLinX-II Uplink Port. This provides a higher level of secur ity so end users cannot access mana gement, alter settings, etc.
6 Main Con figuration Screen After running through an initial self test, the scre en will display: Press Enter for Device Configuration. Press Enter to be taken to the ma in configuration screen. Th e Main Conf iguratio n scr een contains the following: Saved V alues — displays cha nges made duri ng current session.
7 NOTE Reboot after maki ng any modifi cation s to the Saved Value s or the chan ges will not take effect. To rebo ot, type Reboot at the prom pt on the main config uration scre en, or turn the chassis pow er OFF, then ON again. Because a Delete key is not available on VT-1 00 termina l emulators, use the F2 key instead.
8 default public string. To create a new comm unity string, go to t h e main configuration screen and press C . Enter the na me of the new com munity (up to 16 characters, no spac es) and press Enter .

11 *A reboot may be requir ed for some configuration ch anges to take effect. Downloading Files Firmware and confi guration fil es for t he Giga-A ccessEt herLinX-I I can be downl oade d from a cent ral serve r via TFTP protocol .

12 connection be tween ports includes management. Managem ent can be assigned a VLAN. Mode 5 Only accepts un tagged traffic a t the Down link Ports. All Uplink traf fic is tagged. Ea ch Downlink Por t adds a Qualifie d or Not Qualified VLAN tag to all ingress tr affic.
13 Mode 1—Untagge d Frames Only In thi s mode, the unit func tions as a managed MAC layer switch with ma nagement only accepte d on the fiber Uplin k and no VL AN support. Mode 2—M ixed Tagged and Untagg ed Frames (D efault ) When Management can be VLAN tagged, the following screen is given for configuration.
14 Mode 3— Mixed Tagged and Untagged, Block MGMT Domain.
15 Mode 4— Port Ba sed Forwarding Port Ba sed Forwar ding se lecti on is d one on t he foll owing screen : Mode 5— Port Base d VLANs Only untagged fram es are delivered t o the Downlinks.
16 Each port can assign two different VLA Ns based on the ingress frame classification. For u ntagged frame s, the Di ffServ pr iority va lue of th e IP frame can be used for classification. This screen allows the user to select an y of the 64 va lues.
17 Mode 6— Port Bas ed E xtr a Tag In this mode both unta gged and tagged frame s can enter the drop p orts. Two VLANs per port can be assigned based on ingress frames clas sification.
18 In this mode both tagge d and untagged frames can e nter the drop por t. Tagged frames can now be classified based on the PR I valu e with in the inco ming VLAN t ag.
19 Mode 7— P ort Ba sed E xtra Tag, Infr astruc ture.
20 Mode 7 all ows the user to define whethe r a port is a Tr unk (pas ses everyt hing, including m anageme nt), or a D rop (can a d d/remove VLAN ta gs).
21 Mode 7 also allows the user to define wh ether PRI or DiffS erv values a re use d to cl as sif y i nco ming fr ame s and wh eth er no n-IP frames are classified.
22 Mode 8— VLAN As signed Mode 8 all ows up to 64 VLAN IDs to be de fined. Eac h port ca n be a ta gs or No-ta gs member of a de fined VLAN. A ta gs member p ort will allow these tagge d frames to enter/exit the po rt. A No-tags member port will add this frame at egress.
23 Only one No -tags can be assigned to a por t; this ind icates that al l frames entering the port that do not mat ch the as signed members VLAN- ID list ar e given this indic ated tag. All frames leaving the port with this tag will ha ve it remove d.
24 Bandwi dth Limiti ng Bandwidth Limiting can be set per port in both transmit an d receive directions. The limiting function provides a Leaky Bucket tr affi c shap ing func tion wh en pl aced on th e TX side of a port. When the transm it limit is reached on a port, it will stop transmitting until the bucket level falls belo w the set level.
25 Port Configura tion Th e Giga-Acc essEth erLinX- I I Down link Ports can be configured via console configurati on. Type ports and press Enter to be taken to the Po rt Configuration scre en. From this screen, use rs can enabl e/disabl e ports and set Auto Ne gotiatio n and Fl ow Contr ol functi ons, etc .
26 System Descr iptio ns This screen allows the user to define unit and port names that are incorporated by the unit into all SNMP traps. These are extremely useful in troubleshooting the sy stem.
27 Using Management iView² i s a networ k management ap pl ication for IMC Networks intellig ent networki ng devices. It features a GU I and gives network ma nager s the ab ility to monitor and contro l products from a va riety of platforms.
28 IP address assigned to the chassis manage ment card. Users ma y still assign IP addresses to each iMcV-Gi ga-FiberLinX-II and Giga-A ccessEtherLinX-II, and manage them independ ently over the n etwork being transp orted but t his may not provide t he same leve l of se curity as the UMA sy stem.
29 Using Telnet Assign the Giga-Ac cessEtherLinX-II an IP Address or use the default IP Address 10.10.10.10, subnet ma sk 255. 0.0.0 before usi ng a Telnet se ssion. All configura tions done via the console port can a lso be perf ormed using Telnet. The user should only open one Telne t or RS232 c onsole session at a time .
