Select MM Control → Network Interfaces to configure network access.
The following illustration shows the Network Interfaces page.
Select Network Interfaces to configure the management-module Ethernet interfaces and view the TCP log. For all other management-module types, you can configure both the external Ethernet interface and the internal Ethernet interface that is used for communication with the I/O modules.
For I/O-module communication with a remote management station, through the management-module external Ethernet port, the I/O-module internal network interface and the management-module internal and external interfaces must be on the same subnet.
- The Internal Network Interface
(eth1) section displays information about the interface that communicates
with the I/O modules, such as an Ethernet I/O module or the Fibre Channel
I/O module. Use it to perform the following tasks:
- Specify the IP address to use for this interface. The internal network interface (eth1) and the external network interface (eth0) must be on the same subnet.
- Click Advanced Ethernet Setup to view the data rate, duplex mode, maximum transmission unit (MTU), locally-administered MAC address, and burned-in MAC address for this interface. You can configure the locally-administered MAC address; the other fields are read-only.
- The TCP log section displays
entries that are currently stored in the management-module TCP log. This log contains error and warning messages that
are generated by the TCP/IP code that is running on the management module;
it might be used by a service representative for advanced troubleshooting.
The log displays the most recent entries first.
You can sort and filter entries in the event log.
