After initially logging onto the system, adjust the communication parameters for your
console to ensure a reliable connection (Serial Port Configuration). Specify the IP
addresses for the switch (Network Configuration / IP Configuration), and then set the

record them in a safe place. Also set the community string which controls access to
the on-board SNMP agent via in-band management software (SNMP Configuration).
