CSX200 Configuration with QuickSET

Ethernet Configuration

This section explains how to configure the CSX200 Ethernet fields using QuickSET.

Ethernet Configuration Window

The Ethernet configuration window, shown in

Figure 15

, displays after clicking on the Next>> button in the Second Introductory window. The Local Ethernet IP address and Subnet Mask fields shown on the Ethernet Configuration window are used for setting an IP address and Subnet Mask.

Figure 15 Ethernet Configuration Window

This section describes each of the fields on the Ethernet configuration window.

CSX200 Configuration with QuickSET

Local Ethernet IP Address — The Local Ethernet IP Address displays the IP address for the

Ethernet interface. Place the cursor in this field and type the preferred IP address in Dotted

Decimal Notation (DDN) format. The IP address must be in this field to continue.

Local Ethernet Subnet Mask — The Subnet Mask takes the same form as an IP address; four groups of three decimal digits, separated by periods. Each group must be in the numerical range of

0 to 255. The first time you use QuickSET, the Subnet Mask field displays a default Subnet Mask, based on the IP address entered, when it is clicked on. If you wish to use a different Subnet Mask, enter it at this time in DDN format.

Secondary IPs — The Secondary IPs window shown in

Figure 16 displays after clicking on the

Secondary IPs... button, and shows the list of current Secondary IP addresses. The CSX200 can support multiple IP Subnets, therefore, there can be multiple Secondary IP Addresses assigned to an Ethernet interface. To add a Secondary IP address, click on the Add IP button and enter the IP

Address, and Subnet Mask in their corresponding fields.

When you have finished making changes, click on the Apply Changes button. Click on the Done button when you are finished.

System Passwords Window — The System Passwords window shown in

Figure 17

displays after clicking on the Passwords.... button in the Ethernet configuration window previously shown in

Figure 15 . The system passwords used by QuickSET are the same as the Community Names of

the device that are used in Local Management through a Telnet application. System passwords allow you to control management access by establishing three passwords. Each password controls varying levels of access to the CSX200 management.

Once passwords are assigned, you must use the SuperUser system password at the User Password prompt when initiating a QuickSET session. If you are configuring the CSX200 for the first time or if no passwords are assigned, the default system password for each access level is preset to public.

CSX200 Configuration with QuickSET

The following definitions explain the fields in the System Passwords window shown in Figure 17 .

Read Only Access — This access level allows reading of device parameters not including system passwords. Place the cursor in this field and type the new system password. Retype the system password in the Confirm Password field below the Read Only Access field.

Read/Write Access — This access level allows editing of some device configuration parameters, but not including changing system passwords. Place the cursor in this field and type the new system password. Retype the system password in the Confirm Password field below the Read/

Write Access field.

QuickSET (SuperUser) — This access level allows full management privileges. Place the cursor in this field and type the new system password. Retype the system password in the Confirm

Password field below the QuickSET (SuperUser) field.

!

CAUTION

If you edit the SuperUser system password, be certain not to forget it. If you do, you cannot perform management functions without returning the device to its factory default configuration. This effectively erases any configuration work you may have done.

When finished configuring the CSX200 system passwords, click on the OK button in the System

Passwords window to return to the Ethernet configuration window.

Once your Ethernet configuration is complete, click on the Next>> button and go to the Wide

Area Configuration section.
