Chapter 5: Configuring the Switch

This chapter takes you through the steps required to initially connect the switch to a console, set up initial passwords, configure an IP address, and restore factory defaults. For complete information about configuring, monitoring, and maintaining your switch, refer to the System Management Guide.

5.1 Connecting to the Switch

The switch includes a built-in network management agent. The agent offers a variety of management options, including SNMP, RMON and a Web-based interface. You can connect PC directly to the switch for configuration and monitoring via a command line interface (CLI).

Note: The IP address for this switch is unassigned by default. To change this address, see the “Setting an IP Address” section.

The switch’s HTTP Web agent allows you to configure switch parameters, monitor port connections, and display statistics using a standard Web browser such as Netscape Navigator version 6.2 and higher or Microsoft IE version 5.0 and higher. You can access the switch’s Web management interface from any computer attached to the network.

Access the CLI program by using a direct connection to the RS-232 serial console port on the switch, or remotely by a Telnet connection over the network.

The switch’s management agent also supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). This SNMP agent permits the switch to be managed from any system in the network using network management software such as HP OpenView.

The switch’s Web interface, CLI configuration program, and SNMP agent allow you to perform different management functions including:

•Set user names and passwords

•Set an IP interface for a management VLAN

•Configure SNMP parameters

•Enable/disable any port

•Set the speed/duplex mode for any port

The administration console is an internal, character-oriented, VT-100/ANSI menu-driven user interface for performing management activities. Using this method, you can view the administration console from a terminal, PC, Apple Macintosh, or UNIX workstation connected to the switch’s console port. The following figure shows an example of this management method.
