Note:

Changes to the IP Address take effect immediately upon being saved. Telnet connections

in place at the time of an address change will be lost.

Subnet

This parameter specifies the subnet mask of the switch.

Gateway

This parameter specifies the gateway IP address. This is the address to use when

forwarding packets to a network other than the one the switch belongs to. It is

only required if you intend to manage the switch from a management station that

is separated from the switch by a router.

Inactivity Timeout

This parameter specifies the amount of time after keystrokes have been pressed

before a management connection will be automatically broken. A value of zero

disables timeouts altogether.

Telnet Sessions

This parameter limits the number of Telnet sessions. A value of zero prevents any

Telnet access.

Note:

If you disable Inactivity Timeouts

and

reduce the number of Telnet sessions to one, you

will not be able to connect via Telnet until your current connection closes.

TFTP Server

This parameter controls how a TFTP client can access the switches built-in TFTP

server. A setting of “Disabled” prevents all access, “Get Only” allows retrieval of

files and “Enabled” allows storing and retrieval of files.

SNMP Get Community

This string determines the community string that may be used by any management

station for SNMP read-only access of settings. Delete this string if you wish to

prevent read-only access.
