N o t e :

In the default configuration, no manager addresses are configured. In this

 

case, all management stations using the correct community name may access

 

the switch with the View and Access levels configured for that community. If

 

you want to limit access to the switch, you can enter up to ten IP addresses

 

of authorized management stations into the Manager Address field. Entering

 

the IP addresses in the Manager Address field limits access to only those

 

addresses.

 

4. Enter the appropriate value in each of the above fields (use the [Tab] key

 

 

to move from one field to the next).

 

5. Press [Enter], then [S] (for Save) and return to the Switch Management

 

Access Configuration menu.
