(CLI) (see Chapter 7 “Command Line Interface Management” on page 155 for detailed information). Both interfaces provide access to the same switch information and control parameters.
In addition, you can access an extensive set of both standard and private MIB objects through SNMP protocols.
IP addresses and SNMP community names
Each switch module must be assigned its own Internet protocol (IP) address, which is used for communication with a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) network manager or other transmission control protocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP) application. The switch module default IP address is 10.90.90.9x, where x depends on the number of the I/O module bay into which you have installed the switch module, as shown in Table 1.
Table 1. Default IP addresses based on I/O module bay numbers
I/O module bay number | Default IP address |
|
|
Switch Module Bay 1 | 10.90.90.91 |
|
|
Switch Module Bay 2 | 10.90.90.92 |
|
|
Switch Module Bay 3 | 10.90.90.94 |
|
|
Switch Module Bay 4 | 10.90.90.97 |

The following illustration shows the I/O module bay locations.
You can change the default switch module IP address to meet the requirements of your networking address scheme.
The switch module also has a unique,
/NOTE
The MAC address is also located on a separate label on the information panel under the external Ethernet port connectors.
