Verifying the IP and Default Gateway Addresses

To ensure that the IP address and the default gateway were properly assigned, execute the following command and examine its output:

console # - ip interface	Activity status
Gateway IP Address
192.168.1.1---------------------	---------------
	Active
IP address	Interface	Type
192.168.1.123/24--------------	-----------	------
	VLAN 1	Static

User Name

A user name is used to manage the device remotely, for example through SSH, Telnet, or the Web interface. To gain complete administrative (super-user) control over the device, the highest privilege (15) must be specified.

Note

Only the administrator (super-user) with the highest privilege level (15) is allowed to manage the device through the web browser interface.

For more information about the privilege level, see the CLI Reference Guide.

The configured user name is entered as a login name for remote management sessions. To configure a user name, password, and privilege level, enter the command at the system prompt as shown in the configuration example:

console> enable

console# configure

console(config)# username admin password lee privilege 15

SNMP Community Strings

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides a method for managing network devices. Devices supporting SNMP run a local software agent. The SNMP agents maintain a list of variables, used to manage the device. The variables are defined in the Management Information Base (MIB). The SNMP agent defines the MIB specification format, as well as the format used to access the information over the network.

Access rights to the SNMP agents are controlled by access strings and SNMP community strings.

The device is SNMP-compliant, and contains an SNMP agent that supports a set of standard and private MIB variables. Developers of management stations require the exact structure of the MIB tree and receive the complete private MIBs information before being able to manage the MIBs.

All parameters are manageable from any SNMP management platform, except the SNMP management station IP address and community (community name and access rights). The SNMP management access to the switch is disabled if no community strings exist.
