Quick Start For SNMP Users
This section describes how to get started if you
want to use an SNMP Network Manager to
manage the Swi tch. It assumes you are alre ady
familiar with SNMP management.
■If you are using IP and you have a BOOTP server
set up correctly on your network, the IP address
for the Switch is detected automatically and you
can start managing the Switch without any fur-
ther configuration.
■If you are using the IPX protocol, the Switch
3000 TX is allocated an IPX address automatically.
You can start the SNMP Network Manager and
begin managing the Switch.
■If you are using IP without a BOOTP server, you
must enter the IP address of the Switch before
the SNMP Network Manager can communicate
with the device. To do this, refer to “Entering an
IP Address for the Switch”, below.
If you need more information about IP and IPX, refer
to “Managing Over The Network” on page 3-2.

Entering an IP Address for the Switch

1Connect a terminal to the console port of the
Switch 3000 TX. The terminal should be configured
to 9600 line speed (baud rate), 8 data bits, no par-
ity, and 1 stop bit. Refer to “Connecting a VT100
Ter mi na l ” on page 2-7.

Banner screen is displayed.
3At the Main Banner screen, press [Return] to dis-
play the Logon screen. Log on using the default
user name admin (no password is required). Select
OK.

agement Setup screen is displayed.

ing fields:

■Device SubNet Ma sk (if necessary)
■Default Router (if necessary)
For further information on the Management Setup
screen, refe r to “Setting up the Switch for Manage-
ment” on page 3-6.
6If you need the Switch 3000 TX to send SNMP traps
to the Network Manager, you may need to set up
the address of the Network Manager in the Trap
Table. Refer to “Setting Up Traps” on page 4-23.
3Com Network Managers such as Transcend Enter-
prise Manager for Windows may automatically con-
figure the Switch 3000 TX to send traps to them.
Please read the documentation supplied with your
network management software.

Setup screen, select OK.
