Re: 3com 3000 series router 3036
Ok, I have come into a couple of questions skinsfanusa. I have been experimenting with some different settings. I have been configuring through the console, and have had some success. My machine is going through LAN0. Originally I was able to enable the dhcp on the interface, and I was able to get an ip via dhcp! I changed some other settings, and now I am not able to get the an address via DHCP.
First question: How can I reset the router back to factory defaults?
Once I got an ip address, I tried using the 3Com Device Manager, which is what I was planning to use to finish configuring the router, instead of the command line. After enabling the snmp, I was able to log into the router using the GUI interface. Under functions, I only show the folders for, Device Management, Port Management, Performance Monitoring, Router Protocol Management.
Reading in the Help file, I believe it should show many many more folders such as Ethernet Interface Configuration, NAT Management, DHCP Management, etc.
Question 2: Is there something else I need to enable to get these showing up in the 3com Device Manager?
I have used multiple office connect routers, and various linksys, netgard, dlink routers over the years. Currently we are using the Office Connect Secure router. Sometimes we will have it lock up. Since I have always been pleased with 3com equipment, we decided to move up in the chain and got the 3036 to replace the Secure Router. Our main reason for the upgrade was stability. Looking at the documentation I was a bit overwhelmed at first, but I read somewhere that I just need to get the Device Manager working, and then it is much easier to configure. Since I can't get alot of the menus to show up though, I am feeling a bit over my head. Any help, thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank You. |
