34 Configuration Views Current Displays the current setting for the attachment point. The slot position of the board, the setting of the backplane divider switch(es), and the mode setting affect which backplane networks are valid values. Also, some boards may put limitations on which backplane network(s) or local channel(s) may be used. Default Displays the default setting for the attachment point. An attachment point may be attached to a local channel, not attached to any backplane network, or attached to a media specific backplane network. (The valid choices depend on each specific attachment point.) NOTE: This value will always be valid and may change when the backplane divider switch setting is changed. Changes Displays the total number of attachment changes for the attachment point that have been detected since cold/warm start of the agent. Last Change Displays the time since the last reset at which the most recent attachment change for the attachment point was detected.

NMM Agent Configuration View NMM Agent Configuration View Access: From the Icon Subviews menu for the NMM icon, select NMM Agent Configuration. This view displays and provides detailed information on the configuration of the agent, including the initial boot information. This view provides the following information: RAM Version Displays the version of the agent for the RAM of the module. Initial Boot Info Source Displays the source for initial protocol configuration information at next boot. For IP, a setting of net using bootp means that BOOTP will be used to get the agent s IP address(es), load server address, and configuration file name. For IPX, a setting of net using bootp means SAP will be used to get the agent s Novel network number(s), and the configuration filename will be loaded from local storage. The load server address is not configurable and is not available on a Novell network. Table 16 lists all possible values. Device Management Page 34 Nortel BayStack Hubs

35 Configuration Views Table 16: local Value net using bootp other Local Storage Version Displays the version of the agent saved in local storage (such as flash memory). If not known or not available the value is zero. Configuration Load Source Displays the source from which to load configuration information at the next boot. The values are given in Table 17. Table 17: local only net only Value Initial Boot Info Source Values Don't use the network. Try using the network and if that fails then use protocol configuration information from local storage. Not applicable or some other case. Configuration Loud Source Values get from local storage load from the network Table 17: net with local backup other Value NMM Agent Configuration View Configuration Loud Source Values try using network and if it fails then use local information not applicable or some other case When local only is specified, the configuration information is loaded from local storage. If the local configuration is not valid, then BOOTP is used for the IP stack. In IPX only mode, the IP address could be ; IPX does not rely on the IP address. The agent checks the IPX address, and if the network number of the IPX address is equal to 0 the agent uses SAP. When net only is specified, the configuration information will be downloaded from the network only. The configuration information will never be loaded from local storage, even if downloading fails and the local configuration information exists. When net with local backup is specified, a download of the configuration information will be tried over the network. If the network download Device Management Page 35 Nortel BayStack Hubs

36 Configuration Views fails, then the configuration information will be loaded from local storage. Current Gateway Displays the IP address of the current default gateway (router). If not used, this object has the value of Current Protocol Displays the transport protocol over which the agent image and configuration information were last loaded. Next Boot Gateway Displays the IP address of the default gateway (router) for the agent to use after the next boot. If not used, this object has the value of Next Boot Protocol Displays the transport protocol(s) which the agent uses to load the configuration information and the agent image at the next boot of the agent. Last Boot Image Save Status Indicates what happened to the image file on the last boot. Next Boot Image Load Source Displays the source from which to load the agent image at next boot. Valid entries are shown in Table 18. Table 18: local only net only Value net with local backup net if newer other NMM Agent Configuration View Next Boot Image Load Source Values Get the image from local storage. Load the image from the network, cannot be changed to local only or net with local backup until a valid image file is loaded. When the local image is not valid and the network download of the image fails, the entire boot process will be repeated. Load the image from the network and if that fails, use local information. Try loading the image over the net. If successful, it will then be compared to the image stored in local storage. The most recent version of the two will be used. If the local image is not valid, the network will always be used. If the network download fails, then the image is loaded from the local storage. Not applicable or some other case Device Management Page 36 Nortel BayStack Hubs
