5. Installation Selecting a Location Selecting a Location Select a location for your probe where it will be the most useful The probe must be connected to a LAN to retrieve data The data that can be retrieved was previously monitored from traffic present on the WAN where it is attached Consider the following installation requirements when selecting a location for your probe e Aflat surface that is large enough to support the probe requires clearance at rear and sides for cooling and rear panel access adequate wall space or double high space in a 19 inch rack or cabinet e A grounded power outlet either 100 120 VAC or 220 240 VAC e Access to a Fast Ethernet connection tap or to a Token Ring network MsAU connection if the Token Ring Telemetry option is installed e Access to the WAN connection to monitor e Access to an RS 232C connection required only for Out of Band communication e Access to a phone line and a modem within 50 feet required only for Out of Band communication using a modem connection The MAC addresses for the probe can be found on the rear panel It is a good idea to make a note of the interface and its address prior to installing your probe because some installation methods make it difficult to see the rear panel without removing the probe 43 CAUTION Installation Installing the Probe Installing the Probe This section describes how to install your probe First decide which i
6. The probe s MAC address is twelve characters long and is printed on a tag on the back of the probe You must determine the IP Address Default Gateway IP Address and Subnet Mask from the network To allow the probe to use a Bootp server that is not on the same subnet the router involved must support Bootp Relay the transfer of a Bootp request For example if you have multiple probes that you want to configure from a single Bootp server be sure that the routers in the path between your Bootp server and the probes support Bootp Relay Otherwise you will need to operate the Bootp server on the same subnet as your probes You can configure multiple probes on one subnet and then place them on their respective segments BOOTP REC 951 RFC 1084 phase I only 73 Bootp Server Configuration Probe Configuration Using a Bootp Server Bootp Server Type Item HP Sun PC Model or Processor HP 9000 Sun SPARC 286 or above Model 700 Model 1 1 or 800 2 IPC 5 10 20 Operating System HP UX 9 x Solaris 2 1 or DOS 3 0 or later or later later Network Operating ARPA Sun Microsoft LAN System Subsystem Berkeley Networking Manager 1 0 or later Services Services or Ethernetand Novell NetWare TCP IP environment including LSL COM v1 2 IPXODI COM v1 2 NETX COM v3 1 or later Floppy Drive Not Not 3 5 inch Floppy Disk Applicable Applicable Drive System Memory Not Not 10KB of free memo

Ethernet is always half duplex If you are still having difficulty call your local Agilent service representative 69 Installation Verifying the Installation HSSI Troubleshooting Before monitoring any data the connection between the network and the probe must be verified as reliable The physical medium between network devices should also be checked Simple problems with the connection or the physical layer configuration can prevent or skew more sophisticated traffic monitoring Refer to the following tips to help you prevent these problems e Learn about the format of the bit stream before you configure the probe For example are binary ones represented as marks or spaces or is the data inverted e Cable length can affect the ability of the probe to maintain clock synchronization Verify that the cables are not too long e Isthe DCE connected to the port 2 connector If the cables are reversed the probe will not function If the Clock LED does not turn on verify that the cables are connect correctly as described in Connecting to a HSSI System In Band on page 56 and verify that all of the equipment is functioning properly The most common cause for failure is a bad connection at the probe The red fault LED should not be on while the probe is operational 70 Bootp Server Configuration Bootp Server Configuration Bootp Server Configuration This chapter describes how to use the Bootp server method t
