SNMP Write Lock (iMediaChassis series)
There is an SNMP Write Lock switch on the iMediaChassis series; check the
specific iMediaChassis manual for the location. The SNMP Write Lock
switch prevents a new Management Module from re-configuring an iMcV-
application module’s settings (e.g. the status of features such as LinkLoss,
FiberAlert, Force mode, etc.) made via SNMP on any previous management
board (s).
NOTE
Leave this switch in the
NORMAL
position during day-to-day operation; the
LOCKED
position should only be used when changing the SNMP Management Module.
As stated, SNMP Management Modules can be removed and replaced as
necessary. A saved PROM file can be downloaded to the second SNMP
module to retain configuration settings.
Make sure the SNMP Write Lock switch is set to the LOCKED position. The
PROM file should be saved periodically in case there is a need to replace the
SNMP Management Module.
Saving the existing PROM creates a back-up file which can be used in the
event that a unit or PROM update fails. It is recommended that the PROM
be saved after the user is satisfied with his current configuration settings, as
saving the PROM at this point will allow them to recover their configurations
as well.
