Ethernet Configuration
•
Select 5 to toggle the Ethernet mode among these options:
10Mbps Only
100Mbps (half duplex) Only
100Mbps (full duplex) Only
10/100Mbps (Auto-Neg.)
•
Select 6 to change the hostname. This alphanumeric entry is one word up to eight
characters long.
Select 7 to toggle the DHCP setting. This setting enables and disables support for
the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. When enabled, the router retrieves a
dynamic IP address from a DHCP server located on the Ethernet network that the
Fibre Channel to SCSI router is connected to.
Once DHCP is enabled, save the current configuration and reboot the router
before an IP address can be requested from the DHCP server:
1. Select X Return to previous menu.
2. Select A Save Configuration.
3. Select X Return to previous menu.
4. Select 4 Reboot.
After the router reboots, the Main menu appears on the serial interface. For Telnet,
a new session needs to be opened to continue configuring the router. DHCP status
can be verified from the Ethernet Configuration Menu where DHCP Configuration
is indicated as Enabled if DHCP has been successfully activated. The IP address
might also appear different than the former non-DHCP IP address.
Your DHCP server might allow you to set up a lease reservation for an IP address
by providing the server with the Ethernet MAC address of the Fibre Channel to
SCSI router. This sets the DHCP server to always provide the same IP address to
the Fibre Channel to SCSI router. This setup can be useful for remote
management of the router via Telnet or Crossroads Visual Manager. Because the
method of setting up a lease reservation varies depending on the DHCP server
being used, you should contact your network administrator for assistance.
•
Select 8 to access the SNMP Settings for the Fibre Channel to SCSI router,
including the community names for GET and SET as well as SNMP Trap settings.
For Trap settings, select the IP address of the device to send the SNMP trap
notifications.
Note. Do not use an uppercase Z as a part of the hostname as it is the autobaud hot key used
by the Microsoft Windows hyper terminal utility for serial connections.
Note. To use the DHCP feature, a DHCP server must be operational on the Ethernet
network used by the Fibre Channel to SCSI router. If the DHCP feature is used when there
is no DHCP server, the standard for DHCP requires that the router wait three minutes for a
response from a DHCP server before timing out.
