NETWORK

NETWORK Displays/Changes the system’s network and IP settings.

This commands displays the current network settings of the system and allows the user to change them.

API_PORT=x

Changes the API Server port number for this unit to that specified by ‘x’. The system must be restarted before the changes will take effect. Valid ports are 0 to 32767. Note however, that the results may be unpredictable if the port number chosen is already in use (on this unit) by either the TELNET or SYSLOG facilities.

Default port is 8008.

API_SERVER=ON|OFF

Specifies whether or not the API Server capability is active. The API interface relies on an active and enabled API Server for its communications with the system. The system must be restarted before the changes will take effect. Note: To affect the API Server connection availability only temporarily during the current power-cycle, refer to the API ENABLE/DISABLE command.

FIREWALL=ON|OFF

Enables/disables the network firewall.

Default value is ON.

GATEWAY=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd

Sets the current gateway in the network routing table to the supplied Internet address. The gateway is where IP datagrams are routed when there is no specific routing table entry available for the destination IP network or host. Note that GATEWAY= (with no Internet address) will clear out the current gateway.

IP=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd Changes the IP address of the system. Warning: Changing the network IP address may temporarily shutdown cache coherency until the operation completes.

LEGACY_SNMP_TRAP=ON|OFF

Specifies whether or not the SNMP generic traps will use a format that corresponds to the current MIB or an older format.

Default is OFF.

LIMIT_SNMP=ON|OFF

Specifies whether or not the SNMP functionality will only report component-level information, or all levels of information.

Default is OFF.

NETMASK=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd

Changes the netmask of the system.

PING=PARTNER

Attempts to ping the partner unit.

PING=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd

Attempts to ping the specified destination with a single packet.

PRIVATE

Displays information about the private network device.

SNMP=ON|OFF

Specifies whether or not the SNMP trap functionality is active. The system must be restarted before the changes will take effect.

SNMP_FIREWALL=ON|OFF

Specifies whether or not SNMP is active or fully disabled. This function requires the main Firewall to be active. Turning on the SNMP Firewall will disable IHD functionality and will prevent communication with the UPS.

Default is OFF.

SNTP=ON|OFF

Specifies whether or not the system will periodically poll a STNP server for the time. The SNTP time server IP address is specified by NETWORK SNTPIP=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd. The system will poll the timer server at 8 hour intervals. If the time update fails then the system will wait a minimum of 1 minute before polling again. An additional minute will be added to the delay after each failure until the maximum delay of 8 hours is reached. This will prevent the system from polling excessively on failures. An immediate update can be requested using the command TIME GETTIME or TIME GETTIME=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd.

The default setting is OFF.

SNTPIP=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd

Specifies an IP address of a SNTP time server for the system to poll.

SYSLOG=ON|OFF

Specifies whether or not the Syslog capability is active.

SYSLOGIP=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd or aaaa:bbbb:cccc:dddd:eeee:ffff:gggg:hhhh

Changes the destination IP address for syslog packets. If the unit is coupled with a second unit and setup for dual mode, both units in the system will share the same syslog destination IP address but each unit can specify a different destination port.

SYSLOGPORT=x

Changes the destination port number for syslog packets for this unit. If the unit is coupled with a second unit and setup for dual mode, both units in the system will share the same syslog destination IP address but each unit can specify a different destination port. Valid ports are 0 to 32767. Note however, that the results may be unpredictable if the port number chosen is already in use (on this unit) by either the TELNET or API facilities. Default port is 514.

TELNET=ON|OFF Specifies whether or not the Telnet capability is active. The system must be restarted before the changes will take effect.

Note

To affect telnet session availability only temporarily during the current power-cycle, refer to the TELNET ENABLE/DISABLE command.

TELNETLOGIN=x

Changes the maximum number of seconds the system will wait for a new character during a Telnet login attempt to ‘x’. The system will allow 3 login attempts before disconecting the session. Valid wait times in seconds are 0 to 300 where 0 indicates to use the default of 120 seconds (2 minutes.) Default value is 0.

TELNETPORT=x

Changes the Telnet port number for this unit to that specified by ‘x’. The system must be restarted before the changes will take effect. Valid ports are 0 to 32767. Note however, that the results may be unpredictable if the port number chosen is already in use (on this unit) by either the API or SYSLOG facilities. Default port is 23.

TRAPIP=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd or aaaa:bbbb:cccc:dddd:eeee:ffff:gggg:hhhh

Changes the destination IP address for SNMP trap packets. The system must be restarted before the changes will take effect.

USAGE

Displays the address resolution protocol map. Also, displays ICMP (ping), general network, and IP, TCP, and UDP layer statistics.
