Initial configuration
Step one: Configure Ethernet Port A settings
The default setting for the Media2 blade Ethernet ports is auto-sensing mode. If the
switch ports to which you connect the Media2 blade are not also set to auto-sensing
mode, then you need to configure the Media2 blade Ethernet ports to use the same
speed and duplex mode.
To configure Ethernet Port A, log in to the Supervisor’s web interface and go to
Hardware > Blades. For more information about configuring the port, refer to the
online help accessible from the Supervisor’s web interface.
Step two: Assign an IP address to the Media2 blade
You can use the Supervisor’s web interface to configure the IP addresses of all blades
installed in the MSE 8000. Note that all blades are supplied with DHCP enabled and
therefore the Media blade will attempt to find an IP address. The LCD panel will
show the IP address allocated. You can either keep this setting or assign static IP
addresses to a blade from the Supervisor’s web interface. To view or configure the IP
address of the Media2 blade, log in to the Supervisor and go to
Hardware > Blades.
To access the web interface of the Media2 blade, go to
Hardware > Blades and click
the IP address of that blade.
Both ends of the Ethernet connection must be configured in the same
way. For example, either configure both ends of the link to be auto-
sensing or configure both ends to operate at the same speed and duplex.
To establish a 1000Mbps connection, both ends of the link must be
configured as auto-sensing.
