Web Agent Procedure

To configure the PPP console with an IP address and mask using the Web Agent:

  1. Configure your console serial port as a PPP Console. See “Connecting a Modem”, in Chapter 2, “Setting Up the Switch”.
  2. Connect your modem cable to the switch’s serial port.
  3. Select Interfaces from Routing > IP > Configuration on the Web Agent window. The IP Interfaces dialog box opens (Figure 12-37).
  4. Select CREATE. The Add IP Interface dialog box opens (Figure 12-3).
  5. Select Serial-Console from the VLAN field pull-down menu. This indicates the interface for the PPP console.
  6. Enter the IP address in the Network Address field that is to be associated with the PPP console port. If you do not enter a name for this interface, the IP address is used.
  7. Enter the network mask IP address in the Mask field
    (for example, 255.255.255.0).
  8. Click CREATE to save your changes, or CANCEL to restore previous settings. The IP Interfaces window re-displays.
  9. Click APPLY to save your changes, or CANCEL to clear your selection.
