The default is 0.0.0.0 (meaning no default gateway). Refer to the limitations
described in “IP Addresses Configuration” on page 94 (except to the default
0.0.0.0 address that is permitted as it means no gateway).
4.6.3.1.4 Management Port Dest Subnet and Management Port Dest Subnet
Mask
The Destination Subnet parameters define a Static Route, which is an IP subnet of
stations that can manage the device when connected via a router to the
Management port. The Static Route is applicable only when remote management
is enabled for both the Management and Data ports (i.e., when both Management
Port Management Traffic Enable/Disable and Data Port Management Traffic
Enable/Disable parameters are set to Enable).
The default is 0.0.0.0. for both parameters (meaning no Static Route).
In a binary representation (32 bits) the subnet mask must comprise a series of
contiguous binary '1's starting from the MSB, followed by a series of contiguous
binary '0's.
4.6.3.1.5 Management Port Management Traffic Enable/Disable
The Management Port Management Traffic Enable/Disable parameter allows
enabling/disabling remote management traffic via a router connected to the
Management port. This parameter does not affect management traffic via the local
subnet defined by the Management Port IP Address and Management Port Subnet
Mask.
If remote management for the Management port is disabled, then the unit can be
managed by any PC on any of the following subnets (provided the PC is defined as
an Authorized Manager):
A The local subnet of the Management port (defined by the Management Port IP
Address and Management Port Subnet Mask parameters).
B The local subnet of the Data port (defined by the Data Port IP Address and
Data Port Subnet Mask parameters).
NOTE
The Management Port Gateway, Destination Subnet and Destination Subnet Mask are grouped
together. Exiting the configuration process (e.g. by pressing the Esc key) after configuring just the
first one or two parameters in this group will discard the changes made.
The subnet that is used as the Static Route for remote management via the Management port
(defined by the Management Port Dest Subnet and Management Port Dest Subnet Mask
parameters) must differ from the local subnet of the Management port (defined by the Management
Port IP Address and Management Port Subnet Mask parameters) and from the local subnet of the
Data port (defined by the Data Port IP Address and Data Port Subnet Mask parameters).
