Performing the Installation
Once the password is changed, it takes effect immediately (usually the command activate-conf must
be used to activate a change). However, the password is active only for the current session. To save
the password so it remains in affect after a reboot, it must followed with the commands activate-conf
and save-conf.
To change the SNMP community strings:
# set snmpcommunity ROCommunityString new_string
# set snmpcommunity RWCommunityString new_string
# set trapcommunity TrapCommunityStr new_string
Configuring the RS4000 Networking Parameters
Determine whether to allow DHCP to assign IP addressing for the RS4000 or whether a static IP
address will be used. Confer with your network administrator to ensure conformance with your site’s
network configuration strategy.
Configuring DHCP-assigned Addressing
By default, static IP addressing is set for the RS4000. To allow a DHCP server to assign an IP address,
use the following command:
# set ip boot_protocol dhcp
Configuring Static IP Addressing
To change the default static IP address of 192.168.1.1 to another static IP address and netmask, use
the following commands. You should also configure the default gateway IP address:
# set ip boot_protocol static addr ip_address netmask netmask
# set ip gateway ip_address
Configuring Domain Name
To set the domain name, use the command:
# set ip domain domain_name
Configuring DNS Servers
You can configure up to four DNS servers to be used with the RS4000. In the following command,
replace the DNS server number (1 for this example) with the number that you are currently
configuring:
# set ip dns1 ip_address
Note: The system checks for passwords that are too simple or similar.
