This procedure is used to add an E5-IPSM (IP Services Module), used for the IP User Interface feature, to the database using the ent-card command. The E5-IPSM provides eight IP based connections to the EAGLE’s user interface through a telnet client. As of Release 46.5, the E5-IPSM card and its functionality is replaced by the E5-ENET-B (p/n 870-2971-01) or SLIC (p/n 7094646) card. Any references to E5-IPSM and the 870-2877-01 part number should be replaced by the 46.5 and greater card and part number.
The ent-card command uses these parameters.
:loc – The location of the card being added to the database.
:type – The type of card being added to the database. For this procedure, the value of this parameter is ipsm.
:appl – The application software that is assigned to the card. For this procedure, the value of this parameter is ips.
The IP User Interface (Telnet) feature is not required to be enabled and activated in order to add an E5-IPSM, but the IP User Interface (Telnet) feature must be enabled and activated so that the user can use a telnet client to establish a connection to the EAGLE. This can be verified with the rtrv-ctrl-feat command. To enable and activate the IP User Interface (Telnet) feature, go to the Activating Controlled Features procedure.
The shelf to which the card is to be added, must already be in the database. This can be verified with the rtrv-shlf command. If the shelf is not in the database, see the Adding a Shelf procedure.
If an E5-IPSM is being provisioned in this procedure, HIPR2 cards must be installed into card locations 9 and 10 in the shelf that the E5-IPSM will occupy. If HIPR2 cards are not installed in the shelf that the E5-IPSM will occupy, the E5-IPSM will not function when the E5-IPSM is inserted into the shelf. Enter the rept-stat-gpl:gpl=hipr2 command to verify whether or not HIPR2 cards are installed in the same shelf as the E5-IPSM being provisioned in this procedure.
If the Eagle OA&M IP Security Enhancement feature is enabled and activated, shown in the rtrv-ctrl-feat output, when an E5-IPSM is installed into the EAGLE, UIM 1493, SSH Host Keys Regenerated, is displayed. UIM 1493 contains the public host key fingerprint which is used to establish a secure connection with an SSH client. If the secure connection is to be made with the FTRA, the public host key fingerprint displayed in UIM 1493 must be added to the hosts.xml file in the FTRA. Record the public host key fingerprint information displayed in UIM 1493 if a secure connection to the FTRA will be made. For more information about editing the hosts.xml file on the FTRA, see FTP Table Base Retrieval (FTRA) User's Guide.
An IP link must be assigned to the E5-IPSM. The IP links can be verified using the rtrv-ip-lnk command. IP links are configured using the chg-ip-lnk command.
After an E5-IPSM is configured in the database and placed into service, eight telnet terminals are configured in the database with default values for the security and output group parameters. If you wish to change the security and output group parameter values, go to the Changing Terminal Characteristics procedure.
If a Class B IP address is specified for the ipaddr parameter of the chg-ip-lnk command, the subnet address that results from the ipaddr and submask parameter values cannot be the same as the subnet address that results from the pvn and pvnmask, fcna and fcnamask, or fcnb and fcnbmask parameter values of the chg-netopts command. The pvn and pvnmask, fcna and fcnamask, or fcnb and fcnbmask parameter values can be verified by entering the rtrv-netopts command. Choose ipaddr and submask parameter values for the IP link to the E5-IPSM whose resulting subnet address is not be the same as the subnet address that resulting from the pvn and pvnmask, fcna and fcnamask, or fcnb and fcnbmask parameter values of the chg-netopts command.
The IP address of the E5-IPSM cannot be shown as the IPADDR value in the rtrv-ip-lnk, rtrv-ftp-serv, or rtrv-seas-config outputs, or the BPIPADDR value in the rtrv-ip-card output.
The examples in this procedure are used to add an E5-IPSM in card location 2107.
