Figure 6.2 In-band management example

As illustrated in

Figure 6.2

, ETH1000-SW-COM can be used for in-band management over TCP/IP.

In the example we have one location with two frames containing multiple ETH1000-SW-COM and

one Multicon GYDA, and two other locations with ETH1000-SW-COM, but no Multicon GYDA.
The internal control bus in the frame can only have one master. In location 1 Multicon GYDA must

be the master, and all ETH1000-SW-COM cards must be configured as slaves using DIP switch 8.

The frames in location 2 and 3 doesn’t have a Multicon GYDA and will instead be controlled by

Multicon GYDA in location 1. For this to happen, one ETH1000-SW-COM on each location must

be configured as master using DIP switch 8. In addition one of the ETH1000-SW-COM cards in

location 1 must be configured to connect to location 2 and 3. This is done on the Multicon GYDA

web interface.

Warning: ETH1000-SW-COM doesn’t do any address translation. All

sub-racks must be configured with a unique frame address!

In-band management is sending data using TCP/IP. For this to work each ETH1000-SW-COM card

must be configured with proper IP settings. For cards on the same location as Multicon GYDA, IP

configuration is easily done using Multicon GYDA web interface.
