Initial Installation
Management Port Configuration
24 | Spirent Landslide Test System Installation Guide
If ntp is selected, configure the NTP Server IP, specify the IPv4 address of the NTP
server to be used. The TAS management IP address can be used as a common timing
source for all test servers as well as other devices.
<TAS / TS / TAS+TS>
NTP Server IP []:
If ptp is selected, configure the PTP Transport Mode, specify either ipv4 or ethernet
and then press Enter to select the PTP transport mode.
PTP Transport Mode (ipv4/ethernet) [ipv4]:
If ipv4 is selected, configure the PTP IP Mode. Specify multicast, unicast, or
hybrid for the PTP IP Mode, then press Enter to continue.
PTP Transport Mode (multicast/unicast/hybrid)
[multicast]:
If unicast is selected, configure the PTP Master Clock IP, specify a valid IPv4
address for the PTP Master Clock.
PTP Master Clock IP [10.1.1.1]:
15 The initial configuration is complete at this point. Type yes and press Enter to reboot
the system.
System must be rebooted for these changes to take effect…
Reboot now? (yes/no) [yes]:
Note: If errors are detected in any of the data entered above, answer no to the reboot
question and rerun the
ipcfg command.
To configure an IPv6 management port:
1 Configure an Ethernet interface on a laptop or workstation with an IPv4 address and a
network mask that will allow communications with the management port. The default
management port address is 192.168.0.100.
Alternatively, a console session can be used by connecting a keyboard and monitor to
the front panel of a physical server. Virtual machines require the user to connect to the
console via the hypervisor.
Note: If a console session is used instead of telnet, skip steps 2 and 4.
2 Connect the laptop or workstation to the management port using a standard Ethernet
cable.
3 Power up the Landslide platform with the switch located on the front panel.
Allow several minutes for the system to start up.
Note: If the Landslide platform is already powered on when the cable is connected,
the Ethernet link may not auto negotiate properly. In this case, power-cycle the
Landslide platform after all connections are made.
4 Telnet to the management port from the laptop or workstation. From a command
prompt, enter:
telnet 192.168.0.100
