4.6.2.6 Monitor Inactivity Timeout
The Monitor Inactivity Timeout parameter determines the amount of inactive time
following which the unit automatically exits the Monitor program.
The time out duration can range from 0 to 60 minutes. 0 means no inactivity
timeout.
The default value is 10 minutes.
4.6.3 Configuration
The NPU Configuration menu enables viewing and updating parameters that
define the functionality of the MGMT and DATA ports, the properties of authorized
management stations and bridging functionality. It also enables configuring per
Telnet session the types of messages that will be displayed upon occurrence of
various events.
The following are the guidelines for configuring these parameters:
All IP parameters of both ports should be configured. Otherwise, default values
will be used.
The Destination Subnet parameters of the MGMT port enable defining an
additional subnet of stations that can manage the device when connected via a
router to the MGMT port. If OOB management via a router connected to the
MGMT port is used, the parameters should be configured to ensure different
subnets for the Data port, the Management port and the Management Port
Destination Subnet.
Authorized Manager(s) must be configured properly to enable remote
management using AlvariSTAR (or another SNMP based application).
The Configuration menu includes the following options:
Management Port
Data Port
Authorized Managers
NOTE
It is highly recommended to use the Management port for local management only. Typically the port
should be down (disconnected).
