Changing OAMP Address through Web Interface

You can change the device's default OAMP networking address through the Web-based management tool (Web interface). The default IP address is used to initially access the device.

➢

To change the default OAMP network address through Web interface:

1.

Connect any one of the first two Ethernet ports (GE 1 or GE 2) on the top row, located on the rear panel directly to the network interface of your computer, using a straight-through Ethernet cable.

2.

Change the IP settings of your computer to correspond with the default OAMP IP address and subnet mask of the device.

3.

Access the Web interface:

a.

On your computer, start a Web browser and in the URL address field, enter the default IP address of the device; the Web interface's Web Login screen appears:

b.

In the 'Username' and 'Password' fields, enter the case-sensitive, default login username ("Admin") and password ("Admin").

c.

Click Log In.

4.

Configure the Ethernet port(s) that you want to use for the OAMP interface:

a.

In the Ethernet Groups table, configure an Ethernet Group by assigning it up to two ports (two ports provide optional, port-pair redundancy). For more information, see Configuring Physical Ethernet Ports.

b.

In the Physical Ports table, configure port settings such as speed and duplex mode (see Configuring Physical Ethernet Ports).

c.

In the Ethernet Devices table, configure an Ethernet Device by assigning it the Ethernet Group and a VLAN ID (see Configuring Underlying Ethernet Devices).

5.

Modify the OAMP interface address to suite your network environment:

a.

Open the IP Interfaces table (see Configuring IP Network Interfaces).

b.

Select the OAMP interface ("O+M+C"), and then click Edit.

c.

From the 'Ethernet Device' drop-down list, select the Ethernet Device that you configured in the previous step.

d.

Under the IP Address group, change the IP address to correspond with your network IP addressing scheme.

e.

Under the DNS group, configure the DNS server, if required.

f.

Click Apply; the new OAMP address is applied to the device and your connectivity to the device's Web interface at its previous OAMP address is now lost.

6.

Change the IP settings of your computer to correspond with the new OAMP IP address and subnet mask that you assigned the device.

7.

Access the device using the new OAMP IP address, and then on the Web interface's toolbar, click the Save button.

8.

Re-cable the device to the desired network. Your can now access the device's management interfaces using the new OAMP address.
