NETWORK - SNMP
255.255.0.0, the user would enter 192.168.0.0/16. In other words, the first 16 bits of the
address, 192.168, are masked bits representing the network address The remaining bits are
host address which is set to 0.
Note: When configuring Allowed Access, take care to avoid blocking DNS, HTTP, NTP,
RADIUS, SMTP, SNMP, and SSH traffic.
Speed/Duplex: Sets the network port speed automatically (Auto), to 10 or 100. Sets the
transmission to Full or Half duplex. User must exercise caution when changing speed and
duplex settings on any of the SyncServer ports. Speed and duplex settings on a network port
are negotiated with its network link partner. Depending on the settings of the port’s link part-
ner, the requested settings may not be actually taken. Sometimes the network link between
the port and its link partner may be lost due to changing of the speed and duplex settings.
Microsemi recommends using the Auto setting.
Side Effects
Applying changes to the Ethernet port configuration restarts the NTP and xinetd daemons
(services). During that time:
n The NTP daemon, NTP stratum, web interface are temporarily unavailable.
n The Status LEDs, NTP stratum, and Alarms change states.
Attach Cables to IPv6 Configured Ports
The NTP daemon rescans all interface ports every five minutes.
If a cable is not attached to an IPv6 configured port when the network settings are applied,
the NTP daemon will not be able to bind to that IPv6 port. If a cable is attached later to the
IPv6 configured port, up to five minutes can pass before the next rescan. At the time of the
next rescan, the NTP daemon would then be able to bind the port, and respond to NTP pack-
ets.
The solution to this behavior is to have the cable connected to the SyncServer IPv6 con-
figured port before applying the network settings.
NETWORK - SNMP
This page provides configuration of basic SNMP settings and the creation of SNMPv3 users.
Basic Configuration
Establish the identity and community membership of the device.
sysLocation: Identify the location of the SyncServer (e.g. Server Room A, Company Divi-
sion B, etc). Used by network management consoles.
sysName: Provide the SyncServer with a unique name. (This is distinct and separate from
"hostname" on the SYSTEM - General and STATUS - General pages.) Used by network
management consoles.
