Chapter 6: Network Tab
The Network tab allows you to configure settings for the
management network. There are two ways to access the
airFiber Configuration Interface:
• Management Port Enabled by default. Use a direct
connection to the Management port for out-of-band
management.
• In-Band Management Enabled by default. In-band
management is available through the local Data port or
the Data port at the other end of the link.
The Management port and in-band management share
the default IP address of 192.168.1.20.
Change To save or test your changes, click Change.
A new message appears. You have three options:
• Apply To immediately save your changes, click Apply.
• Test To try the changes without saving them, click Test.
To keep the changes, click Apply. If you do not click
Apply within 180 seconds (the countdown is displayed),
the airFiberX radio times out and resumes its earlier
configuration.
• Discard To cancel your changes, click Discard.
Management Network Settings
In-Band Management Enabled by default. In-band
management is available through the local Data port or
the Data port at the other end of the link.
Note: If In-Band Management is enabled, ensure
that each airFiberX radio in a link has a unique
IP Address. If the airFiberX radios use the same IP
Address, you may lose access via the Data ports.
Management IP Address The airFiberX radio can use
a static IP address or obtain an IP address from its DHCP
server.
• DHCP Keep the default, DHCP, to use DHCP reservation
on your router to assign a unique IP Address. The local
DHCP server assigns a reserved IP address, gateway IP
address, and DNS address to the airFiberX radio.
Note: If you select the DHCP option, ensure that
you use DHCP reservation because if you do not
know the IP address, then the only way to manage
the airFiberX radio is to reset the airFiberX radio
to its factory default settings. (Press and hold
the Reset button for more than five seconds.)
Its default Management IP Address is reset to
192.168.1.20.
- DHCP Fallback IP Specify the IP address the
airFiberX radio should use if a DHCP server is not
found.
- DHCP Fallback Netmask Specify the netmask the
airFiberX radio should use if a DHCP server is not
found.
• Static Assign static IP settings to the airFiberX radio.
Note: IP settings should be consistent with the
address space of the airFiberX radio’s network
segment.
