| Screen Objective |
This screen allows the user to configure the
initialization parameters that are stored in the NVRAM of the switch. The screen
lists only some of the initialization parameters and not all parameters
such as MSR (MIB Save and Restore)
feature related parameters of the iS5Comnvram.txt. |

| Fields |
- IP Address Mode—select
the mode by which the default interface in the device gets the IP
address. The default option is Manual. The list contains:
- IP Address Alloc Protocol—select the
dynamic IP address configuration protocol to be used for fetching
the IP address dynamically, if the field IP Address Mode is selected
as Dynamic. Allows the user to only view the selected dynamic IP
address configuration protocol, if the field IP Address Mode is
selected as Manual. The default option is DHCP.
The list contains:
- RARP—Reverse Address Resolution Protocol
(RARP) that allows a client device
to dynamically find its IP address, when it has only its hardware address
such as MAC address.
Note: Currently,
the RARP option is not supported.
- DHCP—Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) that allows a client device
to obtain configuration parameters, such as network address, from the
server.
- BOOTP—Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP)
that allows a client device to obtain its own IP address, address
of a server host and name of a boot file to be executed.
Note: This
parameter can be set only when IP Address Mode is dynamic. When
set as manual IP Address Alloc Protocol is greyed out.
- Default IP Address—enter the default
IP address to change the IP address, if the field IP Address Mode
is selected as Manual. The default value is 192.168.10.1.
Note: Default
IP address can be configured only when IP address mode is set as Manual.
Default IP address is greyed out when IP address mode is set as
dynamic.
Note: If the network in which the switch is implemented
contains a server such as DHCP server,
allocating IP address, the configured IP address should not be within the
range of the addresses that will be allocated by the server to the
other switches. This precaution avoids creation of IP address conflicts
between the switches.
Note: The configured IP address should
be in the same IP range of the network in which the switch is placed.

- Subnet Mask—enter
the subnet mask for the configured IP address, if the field IP Address
Mode is selected as Manual. Allows the user to only view the configured subnet
mask, if the field IP Address Mode is selected as Dynamic. The default value
is 255.0.0.0.
Note: Subnet Mask can be configured only when
IP address mode is set as Manual. Subnet Mask is greyed out when
IP address mode is set as dynamic.
Note: The configured subnet
mask should be in the same subnet of the network in which the switch
is placed
- Switch Base MAC Address—enter the base MAC address of the switch. This
MAC address is assigned to the default interface of the switch.
The switch uses this address as its hardware address. Layer 3 modules
use the switch MAC address as the
source MAC address in the transmitted
packets. The default value should be from iS5 range e.g. e8:e8:75.
- Default Interface Name—enter the interface
to be set as the default interface. This is a combination of interface
type and interface ID. The interface ID is a combination of slot
number and the port number. The format is <interface type><slot
number/port number>. There is no space between these two entries. All
ports available in the switch at that time are populated in the
list. Example: Gi0/1 (Here Gi is interface type Gigabit Ethernet
interface 0 is slot number and 1 is port number). The default value
is Gi 0/1.
- SNMP EngineID—Enter the engine ID that
is utilized as a unique identifier of a SNMPv3
engine. This engine ID is used to identify a source SNMPv3 entity and a destination SNMPv3 entity to coordinate the
exchange of messages between the source and the destination. The
default value is 80.00.08.1c.04.46.53.
- PIM Mode—select the operation mode of
the PIM. The default option is
Sparse. The list contains:
- Dense—sets operation mode of PIM as Dense Mode. PIM implements a flood and prune
mechanism. PIM floods multicast
traffic periodically and prunes branches of shortest-path tree where
no interested receivers are present. This mode is best suited for
networks where few or no prunes occur.
- Sparse—sets operation mode of PIM as
Sparse Mode. PIM forwards multicast
traffic to the device only if an explicit request is received from
that device for this traffic. This mode is best suited for Internet.
- Snoop Forward Mode—select the mode to
be used for building the forwarding table that is used during IGS / MLDS.
The default option is MAC-Based.
The list contains:
- IP Based—uses table containing IP multicast
forwarding information based on both outer and inner VLAN, during snooping.
- MAC Based—uses table containing MAC-based
multicast forwarding information, during snooping.

- CLI Serial Console—select
whether the CLI console prompt
is required for the session through serial console. The default
option is Yes. The list contains:
- Yes—specifies that CLI prompt is made available in
the serial console session.
- No—specifies that CLI prompt
is not made available in the serial console session
Note: This
value does not affect the availability iS5Com CLI prompt
in the sessions established through Telnet. That is, iS5Com CLI prompt is always available in
the Telnet session.
- MGMT Port Access -- Select whether the
MGMT Port will be active. This port is typically used for factory
use and advanced debugging with factory support. Selecting No will
disable the MGMT Port.
- External Storage Access-- Selecting No
will disable the SD Card and USB peripherals.
- Default VLAN Identifier—enter the default VLAN identifier to be used at system startup.
This VLAN is set as default VLAN during
reboot of the switch. The format of this field is integer. This
value ranges from 1 to 4094. The default value is 1 which means
that VLAN 1 is set as the default VLAN.
Note: Once the Default VLAN ID is configured, the switch
has to be restarted before saving any configuration.
Note: It
is not advisable to change the default VLAN ID
when some configurations are already saved.
- Dynamic Port Count—enter the number of
ports required for the iS5com. The maximum count equal to the system
defined maximum physical interfaces. The default value is the system
defined maximum physical interfaces.
- Reset Dynamic Port Count—click to enable
the Reset Dynamic Port Count. If this check box is enabled, the
system takes the default value on restarting the system again.
- Incremental Save—select one of the options
to indicate whether SNMP Update Trigger
for Incremental Save is to be generated or not. The default option
is Disable. The list contains:
- Enable—enables the incremental
save which generates the update trigger for each time an nmhSet
operation is successful.
- Disable—disables the Incremental Save option which will not
generate the update trigger at all.
Note: To disable Incremental
Save, Auto-save Trigger should be disabled.
- Auto-save Trigger—the auto-save trigger
option is for saving the completed configuration automatically or
manually. The default option is Disable. The list contains:
- Enable—Specifies
that every configuration is saved automatically.
- Disable—Specifies that completed configuration will not be saved
automatically.
Note: To enable Auto-Save Trigger, Incremental
Save option should be enabled

- Rollback—select
the SNMP rollback feature. The
default option is Enable. The list contains:
- Enable—enables
the SNMP rollback feature. The
enabled value specifies that it allows the failure in set operation
for any varbind (variable binding), which results in rollback of
all Varbinds whose values
has been set in this SET PDU. A Varbind (Variable
Binding) represents a set of Oid/Value pairs.
- Disable—disables the SNMP rollback
feature. The disabled value specifies that it allows the failure
in set operation to simply return error.
- Factory Reset—select to perform factory
reset.
