Subject: [AFMUG] Trango Apex Lynx/Orion feature request

I submitted the feature request below to Telrad's online ticketing 
system earlier today, and they replied that they'll pass the request 
to engineering.  If you use either the Apex Lynx or Apex Orion and if 
you agree with what I'm saying below then please add your voice to 
mine and ask for this feature.


""
Feature Request: I think each interface on the Apex Lynx should have 
a local management IP address. One on the SFP port, one on the CAT5 
port, and one on the RF interface. As an example, many units from 
Cambium have an address of 169.254.1.1 which is always accessible 
when directly attached to the ethernet port.


I think right now if I was to configure a unit for OOB management via 
GE1, then if GE1 was damaged I would permanently lose access to the 
device. If I configure for in band management via fiber, then I could 
(due to misconfiguration or malfunction) lose access to the device 
and require a climber to go up and press the reset button to restore 
access. Feel free to correct me if I have a misconception here, 
otherwise please consider adding permanent local IP's.

The modem and data ports are on an internal ethernet switch. There's one 
SVI, aka IBM. I'm sure they could add more SVIs, but it would likely be 
on a separate VLAN for each interface. Just a wild guess on my part 
though. You also have the dedicated OMU management port which does have 
its own IP address. Just remember that you get only one default gateway.


I have several ApexPlus links that replaced old unlicensed stuff, so 
there was only one cable available, which goes into the data port on 
each side. No management ports are cabled. It sucks, but it is what it is.
