Setting up and Installing the Interconnect Switch

b.If you have not logged on to the Integrated Administrator, you can use one of two special logon accounts to access the switch module consoles directly, depending on whether you want to access Switch A or Switch B. At the login prompt type in both the user name and password as either:

switcha

or

switchb

The logon screen for Switch A or Switch B will now be displayed.

2.Perform the following tasks for each switch module:

a.Configure the IP address

b.Set up users, passwords, and access privileges

c.Change default SNMP community strings for read/write and read-only

NOTE: After configuring the IP address on the switch module, the switch module can be accessed using Telnet, SNMP, or a Web browser.

Refer to the command line interface and menu-driven interface reference guides for information on how to use the command line management interface and the menu-driven interface to change configuration settings and monitor switch operation using one of the following interfaces:

•Local Serial RS-232 Console Management Interface through Integrated Administrator

•Remote Telnet Console Management Interface

Refer to the Web-based interface reference guide for information on how to use the embedded Web-based (HTML) interface to manage the interconnect switch from anywhere on the network using a standard browser, such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Appendix E of this guide provides information regarding the SNMP and RMON Agents along with the MIBs supported. This appendix also discusses how to use these MIBs to configure and monitor the switch modules using a generic SNMP manager.
