Configuring the Hub
Configuring the hub takes place in three major steps:
1Entering Administrator Mode
2Configuring IP and SNMP Parameters
3Configuring the SNMP Management Station
All of the commands used in the configuration steps are fully explained in the section “Command Summary” later in this chapter.
Entering Administrator Mode
Step 1 Connect a console by following the instructions in the section “Connecting the CONSOLE Port” in the chapter “Installing Your Hub” or start a Telnet session with the hub.
Step 2 Turn the hub ON by setting the power switch to the ON ( ) position.
Step 3 After a few seconds, you will see the user prompt. Use the enable command to enter administrator mode:
Hub> enable
Step 4 After entering the command, you will be prompted to enter the administrator password. If the administrator password has not been set, you can enter administrator mode by pressing the Return key, as shown below:
Hub> enable
Password: <Return>
Hub#
Note If the administrator password has not been set, you should set it following the steps in the section “Setting the Administrator Password” earlier in this chapter. Record the password in a secure location.
The pound sign (#) after the prompt indicates that you are in administrator mode and can enter the commands to configure the hub for IP and SNMP parameters.
