another view that includes the IEEE 802.1d bridge MIB. It assigns these respective
read and read/write views to a group call “r&d” and specifies group authentication
via MD5 or SHA. In the last step, it assigns a v3 user to this group, indicating that
MD5 will be used for authentication, provides the password “greenpeace” for
authentication, and the password “einstien” for encryption.

For a more detailed explanation on how to configure the switch for access from
SNMP v3 clients, refer to “Simple Network Management Protocol” in the Web
Management Guide, or refer to the specific CLI commands for SNMP starting on
page 200 in this guide.
Managing System Files
The switch’s flash memory supports two types of system files that can be managed
by the CLI program, the web interface, or SNMP. The switch’s file system allows files
to be uploaded and downloaded, copied, deleted, and set as a start-up file.
The types of files are:
◆ Configuration — This file type stores system configuration information and is
created when configuration settings are saved. Saved configuration files can be
selected as a system start-up file or can be uploaded via FTP/TFTP to a server
for backup. The file named “Factory_Default_Config.cfg” contains all the system
default settings and cannot be deleted from the system. If the system is booted
with the factory default settings, the switch will also create a file named
“startup1.cfg” that contains system settings for switch initialization, including
information about the unit identifier, and MAC address for the switch. The
configuration settings from the factory defaults configuration file are copied to
this file, which is then used to boot the switch. See “Saving or Restoring
Configuration Settings” on page 65 for more information.
◆ Operation Code — System software that is executed after boot-up, also
known as run-time code. This code runs the switch operations and provides the
CLI and web management interfaces.
Note: The Boot ROM and Loader cannot be uploaded or downloaded from the
FTP/TFTP server. You must follow the instructions in the release notes for new
firmware, or contact your distributor for help.
