Chapter 7 Cisco MGX 8260 Node Management

Configuring the Management Interfaces

You configure the MGX 8260 management interface for local or remote operation by setting the

appropriate IP addresses and management paths. Assign management IP addresses for each of the

following management interfaces that you plan to use:

• Ethernet 10BaseT management interface—IP addresses for the interfaces

• IP route setup—Destination, gateway, protocol, and routing table information

Note If you change the IP address of the port the WebViewer is using, you will interrupt the

session.

The following table summarizes the Cisco WebViewer support for management interface configuration.

Synchronizing the System Clock

The MGX 8260 clock module has three synchronization options:

• Building Integrated Timing Source (BITS)—A high quality timing source that synchronizes all

equipment in the building

• Line—A clock derived from the SONET, DS3, or DS1 line

• Local—An internal MGX 8260 timing source

You assign one clock as the primary source and another as the secondary source. When using the line

clock source, specify both the line and slot associated with the source.

During normal operation, the primary clock is the active source and the secondary clock is the backup.

If the active source fails, the Cisco MGX 8260 Media Gateway switches to the backup clock and reports

an alarm. Also, you can switch to the backup source manually. This section explains how to set primary

and secondary clocks and view clock status.

The following table summarizes the Cisco WebViewer support for clock source configuration.
