Planning the Installation

Before you begin the installation of your iTap, you should determine the following
information:

IP address of the iTap or, if you are deploying multiple iTaps, a range of
IP addresses.
Net Mask for the iTaps.
IP address of the remote management console, if deployed over a WAN.
Gateway to the remote management console, if deployed over a WAN.

Also make sure you have a suitable location to install the iTap(s). For maximum
power redundancy, use two independent power sources.

Confi guring the iTap

The iTap is confi gured with default values that allow you to install the iTap and
then modify parameters from Web Manager or System Manager.

The defaults values are:

IP Address: 10.60.0.123
Netmask: 255.255.0.0
Threshold Port A: 50%
Threshold Port B: 50%
Port A: Gigabit
Port B: Gigabit
CLI username: netoptics
CLI password: netoptics

You can set all parameters, check status, and view statistics from the Command
Line Interface. You can change most settings later from one of the remote inter-
faces (for more information on remote interfaces, see Chapters 4 and 5).

Using the Command Line Interface (CLI)

All confi guration options, status, and statistics are accessible from the iTap's
Command Line Interface. You must set a new username and password, IP address
for the iTap, utilization threshold levels for Port A and B, and the current date and
time. Other parameters are optional and dependent on your installation.
