Web Agent Procedure
To configure the PPP console with an IP address and mask using the Web Agent:
- Configure your console serial port as a PPP Console. See “Connecting a Modem”, in Chapter 2, “Setting Up the Switch”.
- Connect your modem cable to the switch’s serial port.
- Select Interfaces from Routing > IP > Configuration on the Web Agent window. The IP Interfaces dialog box opens (Figure 12-37).
- Select CREATE. The Add IP Interface dialog box opens (Figure 12-3).
- Select Serial-Console from the VLAN field pull-down menu. This indicates the interface for the PPP console.
- 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.
- Enter the network mask IP address in the Mask field
(for example, 255.255.255.0).
- Click CREATE to save your changes, or CANCEL to restore previous settings. The IP Interfaces window re-displays.
- Click APPLY to save your changes, or CANCEL to clear your selection.
