Chapter 3 Management System

Conclusion
Now that both the 'System' and 'Manager' settings are complete, the FRM301 is
now ready to be managed remotely. The system provides a remote Telnet feature
that allows login over TCP/IP networks and provides a menu display almost
identical to that of the Terminal mode console. Some functions are disabled in the
Telnet session. For example, you cannot change the FRM301 SNMP's IP address
from remote Telnet. To do so would cause immediate disconnection. However, the
individual line card settings remain the same as with serial console.
The FRM301 SNMP is supplied with a MIB file (Management Information Base)
that can be compiled into any standard SNMP network management software. The
MIB file is compliant with MIB-II standards.
The following chapter will describe in detail the operation of the optional
Windows GUI software. This software allows graphical management of many
chassis in a convenient and popular Windows environment. The actual
communications between the GUI and the SNMP card are all via standard SNMP
protocol.
