Step 9 If you enable SNMP, you must enter a community string in the SNMP Read Community field,

the SNMP Write Community field, or both. SNMP community strings authenticate access to

MIB objects. Embedded spaces are not allowed in SNMP community strings. When you set

the SNMP read community, you can access SNMP information, but you cannot modify it.

When you set the SNMP write community, you can both access and modify SNMP

information.

Step 10 In the System Contact field, enter the name of the person who is responsible for the switch

module. In the System Location field, enter the wiring closet, floor, or building where the

switch module is located.

Step 11 Depending on which software license you choose, you can enable IPv6 in the IPv6 Settings

area.

– Click Enable IPv6 to enable it.

– In the Interface column, choose the interface for which you want to set an IPv6 address and

complete the other fields in this table.

Step 12 Click Submit to save your settings, or click Cancel to clear your settings.

You can close this window. If you need to rerun Express Setup, see the “Resetting the Switch

Module” section on page 27.

To install additional switch modules, repeat the steps in the “Installing the Switch Module in the Blade

Enclosure” section on page 10 through the “Using the Onboard Administrator to Assign an IP Address

to the Switch Module and Running Express Setup” section on page 13.

Setting the Installed Switch to be the Stack Master (Only Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3120 for HP Switches)

If you plan to create a switch stack, we recommend that you set the switch module that you first

configured as the stack master. To do this, you must assign the highest priority value to this switch

module. To assign a priority value after you have installed and initially configured the first switch

module, follow these steps:

Step 1 Choose Maintenance > Tel net on the left side of the Onboard Administrator window to

launch a Telnet session.

Step 2 Enter enable.

Step 3 Enter configure terminal.

Step 4 Enter switch 1 priority 15.

Step 5 At the prompt, press Return.
