Speed:
Select speed and duplex from the pull-down
MTU:
Specify a value between 576 and 9000. Note that when operating in “In-Line” mode, the MTU of the
WAN interface will automatically be set to match the setting of the LAN interface.
In-Path Interface(s):
Select the in-path interfaces that can be connected to the physical interface. In a trunked environment,
there may be multiple in-path interfaces connected to the physical interface.
VLAN tags will be preserved
.
Untagged in-path interface:
You can specify one and only one of the selections from the “In-Path interfaces(s)” field or “None” If an
in-path interface is selected then the VLAN tag associated with that in-path interface will be applied to the
traffic received before forwarding it to the WAN interface and removed when forwarding traffic from the
WAN interface. If “None” then no tags are added or removed. The “None” value will only be used when
connecting to a “Trunked” interface.
MAC Address:
This field specifies the Ethernet address of the interface. This should only be set in redundant
configurations where the traffic interception mode is ‘in-line’. In this case, this field should be set to the
permanent MAC address of the primary. The permanent MAC address of this FX is shown in blue. If the
field is left blank, then the permanent address of the FX is used.
4.5.2 Configure SNMP Settings
The system SNMP settings can be set using the “FX-Series Appliance Manager” using the console to access
the management menus. MIB-II queries from SNMP monitoring tools such as HP OpenView can then be
made.
SNMP MIB Designation
The optimization server’s SNMP designation for its MIB is 19418. The MIB files can be downloaded from
the “Documentation” page and then compiled into an SNMP network management tool such as HP
OpenView. All of the tallies that are shown via the “Detailed Statistics” button on the “Status->Real-Time
Monitor page may be queried. In addition, summary statistics for each application policy may also be
queried as a table, which allows tracking of throughput statistics on a “per customer” basis, if application
policies, tied to authorization realms that describe each customer, have been defined.
The MIB allows full management of the FX. The same MIB is used for both FX-Remote and ADC
sysLocation: This is used to indicate the physical location of this node (e.g. “telephone closet, 3rd floor”).
If the location is unknown, the value is the zero-length string.
sysName: This is the name used to identify this appliance.
sysContact: This is the email address of the administrator that should be contacted regarding this
appliance.
Read-Only community: This specifies the group of SNMP monitors that have read-only access to the MIB-
II variables. The default value is ‘public’.
