Configuring the SNMP Agent
Logging In to the Administrative Interface
The Administrative Interface is protected against usage by inappropriate personnel. To
access the Administrative Interface, the Network Administrator has to provide a name
and a password.
Please Login
username: userseven
password: (not echoed)
As configured at the factory, the password consists of a null string. To enter the first
time, just press <Return>. Once you have logged in to the Administrative Interface,
you may change the password to avoid undesired access.
Setting the IP Address
To manage the MultiSwitch 300 using an SNMP network management application or
to use the ping command to test the switch, you must assign an IP address, a netmask,
and a broadcast address. The IP address should be assigned by the Network
Administrator in accordance with the existing IP network.
Set the IP configuration with the set-ip-cfg command:
set-ip-cfg 192.1.1.64 255.255.255.0 192.1.1.255
NOTE
If the switch has no IP address, then the provided IP configuration will change the
running parameters as well as the NVRAM based database. If the switch was
already configured for the actual session, the parameters will change only the
NVRAM database. To use these new parameters, reset the switch using the warm-
reset command.
You may also use the set-ip command:
set-ip 192.1.1.64
In this case, the Agent will automatically determine the netmask and broadcast
address. See Chapter 7 for more information about SNMP configuration commands.
