Configuring the GbE Interconnect Switch using the Menu-driven Interface
• Change the default SNMP community strings in the GbE Interconnect Switch and set the
access rights of these community strings. Refer to the “Configuring SNMP/RMON
Manager” section later in this chapter.
Setting the Remote Management IP Interface Settings
To access and manage the GbE Interconnect Switch from an SNMP-based Network
Management System, or by using the Telnet protocol or the Web, you must first configure the
remote management IP interface parameters.
The IP address can be assigned by one of the following methods:
•
•
•
Manual—This option allows you to manually configure an IP address, subnet mask, and
default gateway for the GbE Interconnect Switch.
BOOTP—This option configures the switch to send out a BOOTP broadcast request for
IP information. The BOOTP protocol allows IP addresses, network masks, and default
gateways to be assigned by a central BOOTP server attached to the same network to
which the GbE Interconnect Switch is connected.
DHCP—This option configures the switch to send out a DHCP broadcast request. The
DHCP protocol allows IP addresses, network masks, and default gateways to be assigned
by a DHCP server attached to the same network to which the GbE Interconnect Switch is
connected. DHCP protocol is the factory default mode.
To set up the GbE Interconnect Switch for remote management:
1. Highlight Configure IP Address from the Configuration menu.
2. Press the Enter key. The following screen is displayed.
The Remote Management Setup screen lets you specify how the GbE Interconnect
Switch will be assigned an IP address, which allows an in-band network management
system (for example, Telnet) client to find it on the network.
