Basic Configuration
5.9.4. Static Route
The Static Route menu allows you to type in Linux routing commands that will be
automatically executed each time that the unit powers up or reboots. In the Text
Interface, the Static Route menu is accessed via the Network Configuration menu. In
the Web Browser Interface, the Static Route menu is accessed via the flyout menus
under the Network Configuration link. Note that parameters defined via this menu will
be applied to both IPv4 and IPv6 communication.
5.9.5. Domain Name Server
The DNS menu is used to select IPv4 or IPv6 format IP addresses for Domain Name
Servers. When web and network addresses are entered, the Domain Name Server
interprets domain names (e.g., www.yourcompanyname123.com), and translates them
into IP addresses. In the Text Interface, the DNS menu is accessed via the Network
Configuration menu. In the Web Browser Interface, the DNS menu is accessed via the
flyout menus under the Network Configuration link. Note that if you don't define at least
one DNS server, then IP addresses must be used, rather than domain names. Note that
parameters defined via this menu will be applied to both IPv4 and IPv6 communication.
The Domain Name Server menu includes a Ping Test feature, that allows you to ping the
IP addresses for each user-defined domain name server in order to check that a valid IP
address has been entered.
Note: In order for the Ping Test feature to function, your network and/or firewall
must be configured to allow ping commands.
5.9.6. SNMP Access Parameters
These menus are used to select access parameters for the SNMP feature. The SNMP
Access Parameters Menu allows the following parameters to be defined:
Note: After you have configured SNMP Access Parameters, you will then
be able to manage the VMR/NPS User Directory, control power and reboot
switching and display unit status via SNMP, as described in Section 13.
• Enable: Enables/disables SNMP Polling. (Default = Off.)
Note: This item only applies to external SNMP polling of the VMR/NPS; it does
not effect the ability of the VMR/NPS to send SNMP traps.
• Version: Determines which SNMP Version the VMR/NPS will respond to. For
example, if this item is set to V3, then clients who attempt to contact the VMR/NPS
using SNMPv2 will not be allowed to connect. (Default = V1/V2 Only.)
• ReadOnly: Enables/Disables the "Read Only Mode", which controls the ability to
access configuration functions and invoke switching commands. When Enabled
("Yes"), you will not be able to change configuration parameters or invoke other
commands when you contact the VMR/NPS via SNMP. (Default = No.)
Note: In order to define user names for the VMR/NPS via your SNMP client, the
Read Only feature must be disabled. When the Read Only feature is enabled,
you will not be able to issue configuration commands to the VMR/NPS unit via
SNMP.
