IP address assigned to the chassis management card. Users may still assign IP
addresses to each iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II and Giga-AccessEtherLinX-II, and manage
them independently over the network being transported but this may not provide the
same level of security as the UMA system.
With the Unified Management Agent
When an SNMP request for an iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II comes in, the SNMP
Management Module in the iMediaChassis passes the request to the SNMP agent in
the specific module. The SNMP agent in the iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II provides the
relevant management information for both the iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX and the remote
Giga-AccessEtherLinX-II unit using a secure IP-Less messaging channel to the remote
unit.
IP-Less Management
The Giga-AccessEtherLinX-II supports the IMC Networks secure management system
that allows the unit to function as an integrated remote unit when attached to a Giga-
AccessEtherLinX-II Host unit over a fiber link segment. In this mode the two units are
managed as one integrated pair without the need of an assigned IP address at the
remote unit.
File Management for Upgrading
The following screen, located in the iConfig utility of iView², shows the File
Management functionality of the Unified Management Agent. Operators can easily
upload and store new firmware versions for upgrading multiple devices with on-board
logic installed in, or connected to, an iMediaChassis.
