Web browser. To access the 8275-416 from a Web browser, you must have configured the IP information for the 8275-416 . You will need a valid log in userid and password. The accepted userids and passwords are the same as those configured for the terminal interface.
You might want to change some of the defaults at a later time. First, you need to decide how you will access your 8275-416 . See “Chapter 2. Accessing the 8275-416” on page 11 for details about in-band and out-of-band connectivity.

For configuration changes to be retained across a reset or power cycle, you need to issue a SAVE command. Configuration changes made via the terminal interface can be permanently saved by either: v Pressing the F4 (Save) key. Chapter 3. Configuring your 8275-416...
“UNSAVED DATA” appears in the upper right corner of the panel. Once you issue a SAVE, the following happens: SAVING DATA appears on the panel while the 8275-416 is in the process of permanently saving the current operational configuration data.
MIB objects that the 8275-416 supports as read-write. Processing Configuration Changes When the SNMP Set is received, the 8275-416 checks the data to ensure that it is valid. If it is invalid, the SNMP error code BADVALUE is returned in the SNMP Set Response.
Chapter 4. Using the Terminal Interface This chapter describes the 8275-416 terminal interface. To use the terminal interface it would be helpful to have skills and experience in using Ethernet networking products and to be familiar with networking concepts such as IP device...
The 8275-416 manages information about the hardware and software version installed in the 8275-416 . System information contains read only and read/write fields. The read only fields are written when the 8275-416 is manufactured. Through configuration you can change only the read/write fields: System Name , System Location and System Contact .
To access system information, select System Information Menu on the Main Menu. By selecting Inventory Information Menu and System Description Menu, you can view information about your 8275-416 .Figure 13 shows your system information options. Figure 13. System Information Menu Inventory Information Figure 14 shows you inventory information available for your 8275-416 .
Management Select Management Menu on the Main Menu (SeeFigure 16.) to use the management functions of the 8275-416 . Figure 16. Management Menu Configuring the 8275-416 for Network Connectivity To configure the IP information using the terminal interface, select Network Connectivity Configuration Menu from the Management Menu.
You must configure the following IP information to establish in-band connectivity to 8275-416 : IP Address Unique IP address for your 8275-416 . Each IP parameter is made up of four decimal numbers. The numbers range from 0 to 255. The default for all IP parameters are zeros (that is, 0.0.0.0).
19200. Configuring for DHCP or BootP Server If you do not want to manually configure the 8275-416 with IP information, the 8275-416 can obtain the IP information from a BootP or DHCP server. When BootP or DHCP is enabled, the 8275-416 periodically send out requests until a response is received from either a DHCP or BootP server.
Page 46
If you are not using BootP or DHCP, set the Network Configuration Protocol with a value of None to reduce network traffic. When you use DHCP or BootP to get the 8275-416 ’s IP information, you configure the Network Configuration Protocol by selecting Server Configuration Menu from the Management Menu.
Configuring the SNMP Community The SNMP agent must be configured with a community name for the 8275-416 . A community name is a name associated with the 8275-416 and with a set of SNMP managers allowed to manage it with a specified privileged level. You can add, change or delete communities.
Page 48
Access Mode: This value can be read only or read/write. A community with a read only access allows for 8275-416 information to be displayed. A community with a read/write access allows for configuration changes to be made and for information to be displayed.
Configuring the Trap Receiver Trap messages are sent across a network to an SNMP Network Manager. These messages alert the manager to events occurring within the 8275-416 or on the network. Up to six simultaneous Trap Receivers are supported. To configure Trap Receivers, select SNMP Trap Receiver Configuration Menu on the Management Menu.
If a trap condition is enabled and the condition is detected, 8275-416 ’s SNMP agent sends the trap to all enabled trap receivers. Otherwise, no condition is detected and no trap is sent.
Page 51
Trap Log The 8275-416 maintains a Trap Log; it contains a maximum of 64 entries which wrap. Select Trap Menu from the Management Menu, then select Trap Log Menu from the Trap Menu. Figure 23 shows the entries in the trap log.
Configuring Telnet You can manage the 8275-416 remotely using a Telnet connection. “Chapter 2. Accessing the 8275-416” on page 11 describes setting up a Telnet connection. To configure for Telnet, select Management Menu from the Main Menu, then from the Management Menu, select Telnet Configuration Menu (see Figure 25 on page 39).
(in-band) connectivity. The source and target devices must have the ping utility enabled and running on top of TCP/IP. The 8275-416 can be pinged from any IP workstation (as long as there is a physical path between the 8275-416 and the workstation).
ARP Cache Select Management Menu from the Main Menu. Then, select ARP Cache Menu from the Management Menu to displays the ARP cache for the 8275-416 . This is used to check connectivity between the 8275-416 and other devices. The ARP cache identifies the MAC address of the IP stations communicating with the...
Configuring the 8275-416 Address Aging Timeout The 8275-416 allows you to set a time after which its address will timeout; the address aging timeout. This value can be set by selecting Device Configuration Menu from the Main Menu, then selecting Switch Configuration Menu (see Figure 29 on page 43).
Page 57
The value can be in a range from 0 — 1,000,000 (seconds). The default is 300 (seconds). Configuring Ports The 8275-416 is shipped from the factory with default port settings that allow it to automatically determine the port type and speed. See “Chapter 3. Configuring your 8275-416” on page 17 for details about making and saving configuration changes.
Page 58
For each slot, the ports are numbered 1 to 8. Since there are 16 base ports, each 8275-416 has ports 0.1 to 0.16. Ports on a feature module located in Slot 1 are numbered 1.1 to 1.8, and ports on a feature module in Slot 2 are numbered 2.1.
Page 59
If there are 32 ports, ifNumber will incorrectly be 32 instead of being 33. v Port ifIndex Values - The ifIndex values for the 8275-416 ports start with 1 and increment by 1 for each port physically in the box. Each ifIndex value maps, one for one, with an Ethernet port.
(fault tolerant). If an active path is broke and a backup path is available, the 8275-416 finds the redundant path and enables it (fault tolerant). Without STP, a path failure means loss of connectivity for the affected part of the network, forcing manually established connectivity or redundant loops in the network.
