Configuring the GbE Interconnect Switch using the Menu-driven Interface
Deleting a User Account
To prevent accidental deletion of all of the users with Root privilege, the menu-driven
interface does not allow you delete the current logged-on user.
To delete a user account:
1. Highlight User Accounts Management on the main menu.
2. Press the Enter key. The Setup User Accounts screen displays a list of all current users
and access levels.
3. Toggle the Action field to Delete.
4. Type the user name in the Username field.
5. Highlight APPLY.
6. Press the Enter key.
IMPORTANT: To save the configuration settings permanently, you must enter them into NVRAM
using the Save Changes option on the main menu. Refer to the “Saving Changes” section.
Configuring the Remote Management IP Interface Settings
Each GbE Interconnect Switch must be assigned its own IP address, which is used for
communication with an SNMP network manager or other TCP/IP application (for example
Web or TFTP). The factory default is set for the GbE Interconnect Switch to automatically
obtain the IP address using DHCP service from a DHCP server on the attached network. You
can manually change the default switch IP address to meet the specification of your
networking address scheme. If you select the manual mode and do not assign the IP address,
the system assigns a default IP address for Switch A as 10.90.90.90 and for Switch B as
10.90.90.91. The system also assigns a default subnet mask of 255.0.0.0.
The GbE Interconnect Switch IP address is also assigned a unique MAC address by the
factory. This MAC address cannot be changed and can be found on the initial boot console
screen and the Logon screen, or by accessing basic switch information. Refer to the
“Displaying Basic GbE Interconnect Switch Information” section later in this chapter.
In addition, you can
•
•
•
Set an IP address for a default gateway. This becomes necessary when the network
management station is located on a different IP network from the GbE Interconnect
Switch, making it necessary for management packets to go through a router to reach the
network manager, and vice-versa.
Set a list of up to eight secure IP addresses of network management stations that are
allowed to manage the interconnect switch. Only those network management stations can
access the switch management inerfaces once set.
Set a management VLAN ID (VID) for the IP interface so that the GbE Interconnect
Switch can be accessed from the designated management VLAN.
