Chapter 2: Initial Configuration
Connecting to the Switch
Configuration Options
This switch includes a built-in network management agent. The agent offers a variety of
management options, including SNMP, RMON (Groups 1, 2, 3, 9) and a web-based
interface. A PC may also be connected directly to the switch for configuration and
monitoring via a command line interface (CLI).
Note: The IP address for this switch is obtained via DHCP by default. To change this address,
see “Setting an IP Address” on page 2-4.
The switch’s HTTP web agent allows you to configure switch parameters, monitor port
connections, and display statistics using a standard web browser such as Internet
Explorer 5.x or above, Netscape 6.2 or above, and Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.0 or above. The
switch’s web management interface can be accessed from any computer attached to the
network.
The CLI program can be accessed by a direct connection to the RS-232 serial console
port on the switch, or remotely by a Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH) connection over the
network.
The switch’s management agent also supports SNMP (Simple Network Management
Protocol). This SNMP agent permits the switch to be managed from any system in the
network using network management software such as HP OpenView.
The switch’s web interface, CLI configuration program, and SNMP agent allow you to
perform the following management functions:
• Set user names and passwords
• Set an IP interface for a management VLAN
• Configure SNMP parameters
• Enable/disable any port
• Set the speed/duplex mode for any port
• Configure the bandwidth of any port by limiting input or output rates
• Control port access through IEEE 802.1X security or static address filtering
• Filter packets using Access Control Lists (ACLs)
• Configure up to 255 IEEE 802.1Q VLANs
• Enable GVRP automatic VLAN registration
• Configure IGMP multicast filtering
• Upload and download system firmware via TFTP
• Upload and download switch configuration files via TFTP
• Configure Spanning Tree parameters
