them to the trap recipient (or network manager). Typical traps include trap messages for Authentication Failure, Topology Change
and Broadcast\Multicast Storm.
MIBs
The S witch i n t he M anagement In formation B ase (MIB) st ores m anagement and counter i nformation. The Switch u ses t he
standard MIB-II Management Information Base module. Consequently, values for MIB objects can be retrieved from any SNMP-
based network management software. In addition to the standard MIB-II, the Switch also supports its own proprietary enterprise
MIB as a n extended Management Information Base. The proprietary MIB may also be retrieved by specifying the MIB Object
Identifier. MIB values can be either read-only or read-write.
IP Address Assignment
An IP A ddress m ust be assi gned t o eac h s witch, which i s use d for c ommunication with a n S NMP net work m anager or ot her
TCP/IP application (for example BOOTP, TFTP). The Switch's default IP address is 10.90.90.90. The user may change the default
Switch IP address to meet the specification of your networking address scheme.
The Switch is also assigned a unique M AC address by the factor y. This MAC address cannot be ch anged, an d can be found by
entering the command "show switch" into the command line interface, as shown below.
Figure 4- 4. “show switch” command
The Switch' s MAC addres s also appea rs in the Device In formation and System Information windows o f the W eb-based
management interface. The IP address for the Switch must be set before using the Web-based manager. The Switch IP address can
be automatically set using BOOTP or DHCP protocols, in which case the actual address assigned to the Switch must be known.
The IP address may be set using the Command Line Interface (CLI) over the console serial port as follows:
Starting at the command line prompt, enter the command:
config ipif System ipaddress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
Where the x's represent the IP address to be a ssigned to the IP in terface n amed System and th e y's r epresent th e corresponding
subnet mask. Alternatively, the user can enter config ipi f Sy stem ipaddress xxx .xxx.xxx.xxx/z. Where the x's represent the IP
address t o be assigned t o the IP inte rface named Syste m and th e z represents t he c orresponding num ber of s ubnets in CIDR
notation. The IP interface named System on the Switch can be assigned an IP address and subnet mask, which can then be used to
connect a management station to the Switch's Telnet or Web-based management agent.
