MASTERAGENT ON | OFF
Enables (ON) or disables (OFF) the SNMP Agent-X master agent function. Within one group of
modems using Agent-X only ONE modem may be designated Master Agent (MASTERAGENT
ON), all others must be designated as slave agents (MASTERAGENT OFF). All slave agents must
have the IP address of the master agent properly configured (with the MASTERIP command). Cf.
8.1.1
MASTERIP IP-Address
Parameter:
IP-Address
IP address of the SNMP Agent-X master agent.
The last part of the address can be replaced by the keyword #S to
represent the subrack slot number where the card is inserted in.
Factory default: 192.168.1.#S
Plugins configured as Agent-X subagents (MASTERAGENT OFF) must know the IP address of
the master agent. This is done with the MASTERIP command.
Note The plugin which is configured as master agent also contains subagents. It is required to configure
a MASTERIP address on this plugin. Cf. 8.1.1
MGMTIP Management-Port IP-Address/Netmask [ State ]
Sets the IP address and netmask of a management port.
Parameters:
Management-Port
One of the management ports (MGMT1, MGMT2 or MGMT3)
IP-Address/
Netmask
IP address and network mask for this port. Use the /nn notation
for the network mask, e.g. 10.100.249.67/16.
The last part of the address can be replaced by the keyword #S to
represent the subrack slot number where the card is inserted in.
Factory default:
192.168.0.#S/24 for MGMT1
192.168.1.#S/24 for MGMT2
Use address 0.0.0.0 to delete an address.
State
Status of the port (UP or DOWN)
Note The MGMTIP command is only available through the RS-232 Monitor interface, not through Tel-
net.
RIP ON | OFF
Enables/disables the Routing Information Protocol. The Watson 5 Ethernet plugin supports RIPv2
(RFC 1388). If RIP is enabled then there is no need to manually set up routes using the ROUTE
command. The current setting of RIP is displayed with the CONFIG MGMT command.
Notes ! There are no configurable parameters for RIP
! RIP is either active on all management ports (MGMT1, MGMT2 and MGMT3) or completely
disabled.
