2.2.5 TCP/IP Configuration
The Network Management modes that require TCP/IP communications must first have all TCP/IP configuration
settings completed while in the "Console Mode". Once the settings are completed, the FRM220-NMC card can be
accessed by Telnet, the Web or via standard SNMP protocol.
Two Step Configuration
The management configuration process is broken down into two logical steps. First the SNMP agent (the
FRM220-NMC card itself) must be configured with an IP address, subnet mask and gateway IP. Second, the agent
must be told who the network manager is, ie., the management workstation's IP address. Included in the second
step are the community string settings and IP address to send the unsolicited trap messages (alarm messages).
To configure the card for use by SNMP, certain parameters must be set. They are:
a. The SNMP card (agent) needs its own IP address.
b. The SNMP card needs to know the IP address of the management workstation.
c. The community string must be set.
d. The SNMP card's subnet mask can be set.
Step One: Agent Configuration Process

1: Use this key to set the NMC card's IP address.
2: Use this key to set the NMC card's subnet mask.
3: Use this key to set the NMC card's default gateway.
4: Use this key to set the System Name
5: Use this key to set the IP address of the TFTP server, used for upgrading.
6: Use this key to set the path and filename of the kernel upgrade image file.
7: Use this key to set the path and filename of the File System upgrade image file.
8: This key will reset all settings to factory default.
9: This key will initiate the TFTP image transfer and flash upgrade the kernel.
A: This key will initiate the TFTP image transfer and flash upgrade the File System.
T: Use this key get to the date and time setting menu, including network time setting.
U: This will enter the menu used to upgrade line cards installed in the chassis.
ESC: This key will write any changes and leave the system setting menu.
NOTE: If changing the IP address, subnet mask or default gateway, please manually reboot the NMC.
These are the default TCP/IP settings.
You can directly connect by web
