Before Using Cisco QAM Gateway Manager

This section summarizes the minimum configuration required before using Cisco QAM Gateway Manager. These tasks would normally be completed in advance by the network or device administrator using the device command line interface (CLI).

To see the detailed steps for completing each of these tasks, refer to the Cisco Catalyst 4500 series switch documentation listed in Related Documentation.

Before using Cisco QAM Gateway Manager, ensure that you have the following information for each device to be managed:

•Telnet password

•IP address

•SNMP community string

•VLAN information:

–VLAN numbers

–IP addresses

Telnet Password

A Telnet password should be set to control access to the device through the Telnet window in Cisco QAM Gateway Manager. You need to know this password to use the application's Telnet function.

SNMP Setup

Cisco QAM Gateway Manager uses Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and a special management information base (MIB) to manage Cisco QAM gateway devices. The MIBs are included in the software releases shown in Table 1-1.

Ethernet Port for SNMP Configuration

An IP address must be configured for each device for SNMP use. You must have this information when adding devices to the device list in Cisco QAM Gateway Manager.

SNMP Community String

The SNMP community string authenticates access to MIB objects, and functions as an embedded password. You must have this information when adding devices to the device list in Cisco QAM Gateway Manager. Cisco Catalyst switches must be configured with SNMP community strings before using Cisco QAM Gateway Manager to monitor or configure these devices.

Setting Up Input Video Traffic and VLAN information

Video input specifications and any required VLANs must be configured on the device before using Cisco QAM Gateway Manager.
