System: Config

OneView's Config page is where the user can configure the system's management IP address (i.e. the network address used to access OneView), clock settings (i.e. time, date, time-zone), the system's name, and the system's description. This is also where the entire system configuration can be backed up to a file or restored from a previously saved backup file.

Accessing the Config Page

To access the Config page, just click on Config in the System dropdown menu on the left side of the screen.

Management IP 

(NOTE: The values above are only examples) 

To change the Management IP settings, click the Edit button.

The IP Address (e.g. 10.12.21.17) is the address you type into the address bar of Chrome web browser to access OneView on your ONS-NC600.

The Subnet Mask (e.g. 255.255.0.0) should match that of other devices on that same LAN (e.g. your management computer).

The Default Gateway (e.g. 10.12.21.1) should match that of other devices on that same LAN (e.g. your management computer).

The VLAN ID (e.g. 10) is required on all Connect ports (on the Aggregation Switch or Edge Switches) that will be used to access OneView.

When you are finished, click the Save Data button.

IMPORTANT: 
Before changing the VLAN ID, make sure that there is at least one accessible port on the Aggregation Switch that is also configured with the VLAN ID you want to use.  Failure to do so could result in the user being locked out of the system, necessitating a reset to default settings.

General 

In the General section, you can set the clock (date, time, time-zone, and NTP server(s)), the system name, and the system description. Just click the Edit button beside each field. The system time is on PST by default.

When changing the time, make sure to change both the clock and the timezone.

Backup / Restore

In the Backup / Restore section, you can back up your OneView settings to a file. Just click on the Backup button and follow the prompts. Then, if you need to restore your system to those saved settings, click the Restore button and follow the prompts. It is highly recommended that you back up your system configuration whenever you finish making a set of changes.

IMPORTANT: ONS-S2 configuration backup files will not work on the ONS-S8.

Router Discovery

Clicking on the 'Attempt Discovery' button will find and prepare a supported router to be managed with OneView™. Please read the app note Router Management with OneView™ for more details.

Advanced

In the Advanced section, users can configure settings for spanning tree protocol (STP), forward error correction (FEC), and data collection.

(NOTE: FEC is not available with Hybrid systems)
