Cisco Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module for HP BladeSystem p-Class Hardware Installation Guide

Configuring the Switch Using Express Setup
h. If you enable SNMP, you must enter a community string in the SNMP Read
Community field, the SNMP Write Community field, or both. SNMP community
strings authenticate access to MIB objects. Embedded spaces are not allowed in
SNMP community strings. When you set the SNMP read community, you can access
SNMP information, but cannot modify it. When you set the SNMP write community,
you can access and modify SNMP information.
3. Click Submit to save your settings to the switch, or click Cancel to clear your settings.
When you click Submit, the switch is configured and exits Express Setup mode. The PC
displays a warning message and then attempts to connect with the new switch IP address.
If you configured the switch with an IP address that is in a different subnet from the PC,
connectivity between the PC and the switch is lost.
4. Disconnect the switch from the PC, and install the switch in your production network.
See the “Managing the Switch” section for information about configuring and managing
the switch.
If you need to rerun Express Setup, refer to the “Resetting the Switch” section for more
information.
Refreshing the PC IP Address
After you complete Express Setup, you should refresh the PC IP address.
For a dynamically assigned IP address, disconnect the PC from the switch, and reconnect it to
the network. The network DHCP server will assign a new IP address to the PC.
For a statically assigned IP address, change it to the previously configured IP address.
