Introduction
IntraSpection Personality Modules
A Personality Module is a “plug-in” to the IntraSpection system that
allows for expanded manag ement of an SNMP (Simple Networ k Management Protocol) device by specifically addressing the device’s proprietary information (the “Private MIB”).
Management capabilities are accessed via the Personality Module’s
IntraSpection

refers to the IntraStack 6014DSB and any installed expansion units; the term group refers to an individual module
within the device stack; the term port refers to an individual port.
Group Numbering
For management purposes, each group within a device is assigned a
number:
❏ The bottom module (IntraStack 6014DSB) is group 1
❏ The next module up is group 2

Port Numbering
Each port is assigned a number.
❏ Ports 1 – 12 on the IntraStack 6014DSB are referred to
as ports 1 – 12.
❏ MII (Media Independent Interface) ports I and II are
referred to as 13 and 14, respectively.

group, or port level.
For example, if a group (such as the IntraStack 6014DSB base unit) is
selected and you select the Graph menu, statistics for that group are
displayed. If a port is selected and you select Graph, statistics for that
port are displayed.

Setting Community Strings
Setting Community Strings
Community strings define access rights for reading and writing SNMP
data objects for a device.
The community strings (read and write) for an IntraStack are manually
set in the IntraStack 6014DSB via the unit’s console port.
In order to access an IntraStack with IntraSpection, the community
strings must be set in IntraSpection to match those set in the IntraStack
6014DSB.
▲ Important: It is recommended that you set the commu-
nity strings for an IntraStack 6014DSB in IntraSpection
before you attempt to perform any network management
functions.
This section describes how to set the community strings in IntraSpection to match those set in the IntraStack 6014DSB.
To set the community strings in IntraSpection:
1 On the Device Page, click the map icon on the
IntraSpection navigation bar (located at the bottom of
the screen), as shown in Figure 4-1.

Configuring IP Information
Configuring IP Information
To configure and/or manage an IntraStack over the network, the IntraStack 6014DSB needs to be properly configured with IP information (such
as the device’s IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address).
This information is initially set-up in the IntraStack 6014DSB via the
unit’s console port; however, some information can be modified using
IntraSpection.
