3.9 Settings > Network
Click the "Settings" menu button and the "Network" submenu
button to display the Settings > Network page.
Note: Any changes in the "TCP/IP" tab, "Telnet/SSH" tab or Web
tab require the card to be rebooted.
The "TCP/IP" tab (Figure 3-16) contains several network settings:
•
"MAC Address" is the unique physical address of the
SNMPWEBCARD and cannot be changed. The address is also
printed on a label on the surface of the card. An extra label may
be included.
•
"Host Name" is the unique name by which the
SNMPWEBCARD is identified on the network. Host name is
used to identify a particular host in various forms of electronic
communication such as Web or email and is translated into
an IP address via the Domain Name System (DNS) resolver
for communication between devices over the network. Note:
It is necessary to specify a DNS IP Address in the Settings >
Network > TCP/IP Tab page and include these descriptions in
the configuration of all pertinent Router/Switch networks.
•
"Domain Name" defines the local subnetwork.
•
"Boot Mode" defines whether the card has a static IP address
(assigned manually) or a DHCP address (assigned automatically
by a DHCP server on your network). DHCP is the default
setting. (For instructions on assigning a static IP address via
terminal mode, refer to the printed manual that came with your
SNMPWEBCARD or PDU.)
•
"IP Address," "Network Mask" and "Default Gateway" are IP
network settings that will either be assigned automatically or
must be entered manually, depending on whether the card is
set to use a static IP or DHCP. If you don't know the correct
settings, contact your network administrator.
•
"Preferred DNS Server" and "Alternate DNS Server" are
required only if you want to use domain names (such as
mailserver.xyz.com) in addition to numeric addresses (such as
192.168.0.123).
•
"Ethernet Port Speed" defines the communication speed of the
SNMPWEBCARD Ethernet port. By default, it will auto-
negotiate in order to use the fastest speed that's compatible with
your network equipment.
The "Telnet/SSH" tab (Figure 3-17) determines whether Telnet/
SSH access is enabled or disabled. You can also set the Telnet/SSH
port. (Default Settings: Telnet port is 23, SSH port is 22.) Note:
Telnet/SSH access requires a user name and an admin password.
Guest users do not have Telnet/SSH access. See Section 4.0 –
Telnet/SSH Console for additional information about Telnet/SSH
access. SSH is enabled by default.
