Using an SNMP Manager 8-1
Chapter 8
Using an SNMP Manager
Overview
This chapter contains instructions regarding the configuration and management of the
MultiSwitch 300 with an SNMP management system.
The MultiSwitch 300 with an SNMP Agent board installed is a plug and play device.
Once connected to the network and powered ON, the MultiSwitch 300 starts operating
according to factory set default values. However, to ensure proper operation and
maximum performance specific to your network configuration and to provide SNMP
access, you must configure some environment-specific parameters through the
Administrative Interface.
The following steps should be taken:
1)
Connect a terminal to the Administrative Interface Port.
2)
Log in to the Administrative Interface. (See Chapter 6, Accessing the SNMP
Agent.)
3)
Initialize all the MultiSwitch 300 parameters to their default values. Use the
following command sequence:
SYS_console> init-nvram
SYS_console> warm-reset
4)
Wait until you see the LOGIN prompt again. Log in to the Administrative
Interface. Now all system parameters have been initialized to their default values.
IP Setup
1)
Modify the system IP configuration to match your IP network. Use the set-ip-cfg
command to provide an IP address, a netmask, and a broadcast address. (See
Chapter 7, IP Commands.) For example:
SYS_console> set-ip-cfg 129.1.1.64 255.255.255.0 129.1.1.255
