To change the username and password:

1.Change the username by typing the following command:

set username <username>

where <username> is your new username.

2.Change the password by typing the following command:

set password <password>

where <password> is your new password.

3.Record the username and password in a secure location.

To set the iTap IP address:

1.Type set ip <ip address> where <ip address> is the IP address you are assign- ing to the iTap and press Enter.

For example, typing set ip 10.60.0.100 sets the iTap IP address to 10.60.0.100.

To set the utilization threshold levels:

1.Type set threshold port a <level> where <level> is the percentage of the available bandwidth at which the utilization alarm for Port A is triggered. Press Enter.

For example, typing set threshold port a 30 sets the alarm threshold level for traffic received on Port A to 30%.

2.Type set threshold port b <level> where <level> is the percentage of the available bandwidth at which the utilization alarm for Port B is triggered. Press Enter.

For example, typing set threshold port b 30 sets the alarm threshold level for traffic received on Port B to 30%.

Tip! _____________________________________________________________________

You can set the utilization threshold levels at any time from the remote interfaces. See Chapters 4 and 5 for more information.
