TMS zl Management and Configuration Guide ST.1.0.090213

1-72

Overview

Default Operation

You should understand how the TMS zl Module operates at factory defaults:

■ Default management settings

■ Default enabled capabilities

■ Default firewall access policies

Default Management Settings

At factory default settings, the TMS zl Module has no IP address. You must

access the TMS zl Module CLI through the host switch CLI.

In the CLI, you can enable remote management access:

■ For a module that you want to deploy in routing mode:

a. Verify the operating mode is routing (the default setting).

b. Add a VLAN to the module and set its zone and IP address.

c. Enable management on that zone.

When you enable management on a zone, access policies that permit

management traffic between that zone and the Self zone are automat-

ically added.

Note At this point, you must access the TMS zl Module from an endpoint in this

VLAN. If you want to access the module from other VLANs, you can add

other VLANs to the zone on which you enabled management. You can also

enable management on other zones.

d. Configure the default gateway.

If the default gateway is not on the VLAN that you added to the

module, you must add the gateway’s VLAN first. Specify the VLAN’s

zone and assign the module an IP address on the VLAN. Then config-

ure the default gateway.

■ For a module that you want to deploy in monitor mode:

a. Set the operating mode to monitor.

b. Set the management IP address and VLAN. Best practice dictates that

the management VLAN not be the default VLAN, VLAN 1.

c. Configure a default route to a router on that VLAN.
