Chapter 3 Basic T1000/Unison Load-Balancing Configuration
Configuring T1000 Basic Functions
This section is an extension of the installation steps described in “Accessing and
Configuring the Management Plane” on page 2-29. These are basic functions such as
management IP address, default route, host name, licensing, and NTP configuration.
Step 1 Set management IP address. See “Setting Management IP Address” on page 3-8.
Step 2 Set a default route for the management network. See “Setting Default Route” on page 3-8.
Step 3 Set the T1000 host name. “Setting Host Name” on page 3-9.
Step 4 Request a license from Bytemobile support and install it. See “Requesting a License” on
page 3-9.
Step 5 Verify the operating system version. See “Verifying Operating System” on page 3-9.
Step 6 Configure an NTP server. See “Configuring NTP” on page 3-9.
T1000 configuration tasks are typically carried out through either the command line
interface (CLI) via SSH or the graphical user interface (GUI). See “Using the T1000
Command Line Interface (CLI)” on page 5-1 or “Using the T1000 Graphical User Interface
(GUI)” on page 5-2 for more information. Certain configurations, such as management IP
address, can only be performed from the CLI. Configurations in this manual are presented
using only the CLI.
Setting Management IP Address
Note: Basic functionality can also be configured by using the config ns command
(management IP address, VLAN, and timezone). The config ns command
launches a menu-driven system that simplifies the configuration process.
The following example shows how to configure the management IP, the hostname of the
T1000, the default route and a new password for administrator (nsroot)
> set ns config -ipaddress 10.8.130.31 -netmask 255.255.255.0
Done
> save ns config
Done
One may optionally bind the management IP address to a specific VLAN and interface. Link
aggregates (LACP or static trunks) are both supported for this purpose:
> set ns config -nsvlan <positive_integer> -ifnum <interface_name> [-tagged ( YES
| NO )]
Done
After configuring management IP address, it is recommended that you create new users, and
change passwords for all users. For more information, see “Configuring Users and Groups”
on page 5-9.
Setting Default Route
The following example shows how to set the default route:
