Managing the Switch Using TFTP
The new management configuration values will not take effect until the Switch is reset. If the Switch’s IP address is changed and then the Switch is reset, it will no longer respond to the previous IP address, but will now respond only to the newly configured IP address.
Note:
If any of these management configuration parameters are changed using SNMP after the config file has been written by TFTP, but before the Switch is reset, the SNMP process will save its
The Switch Management Configuration File
The parameters of the Switch management configuration file (config ) are:
netAddress The IP network address. By default this is 10.0.0.1.
netMask The IP subnetwork mask. By default this is 255.0.0.0.
broadcast The IP broadcast address. By default this is 10.255.255.255. If this parameter is omitted from the configuration, the Switch will compute the correct broadcast address from netAddress and netMask.
gateway The IP address of the network gateway. If this parameter is set to 0.0.0.0, the Switch will assume that no gateway is available.
arpTimeout The time in seconds to expire entries in the arp cache. By default this is set to 30000 (about 8 hours).

SNMP Get and GetNext requests. By default this is the string “public”.
snmpWriteCommunity
The SNMP community name to be recognized for
SNMP Set requests. By default this is the string “private”.
snmpTrapCommunity
The SNMP community name to be used in SNMP
Trap messages. By default this is the string “public”.
snmpName
The value of the SNMP Systems Group SysName variable. This is usually identical to the host name, for example, “switch001”. The default value for this parameter is the empty string, “”.
