CONFIGURING BASIC SETTINGS

This chapter describes preliminary tasks for conﬁguring basic bridge/router settings. Before you begin conﬁguring ports and paths (described in Chapter 1 of Using Enterprise OS Software), complete the following tasks:

■Log on to the system.

■Familiarize yourself with the user interface.

■Learn how to get help.

■Set up IP routing.

■Store conﬁguration parameter values.

■Obtain Network Manager privileges.

■Change the Network Manager password.

■Set the time and date.

■Set system administrator information.

■Assign IP addresses and subnet masks to individual ports or one address for the bridge/router or tunnel switch.

■Set up the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

■Set up NETBuilder security.

To perform these tasks, you can either attach a console to the console port and log onto the system locally, or you can use the Web Link applications, which is a web-based conﬁguration tool. For information on how to log on to the system locally, see “Logging on to the System” on page 17.

Web Link contains a complete user interface to the conﬁguration parameters required to set up and conﬁgure a bridge/router or tunnel switch.
