Configuring the Switch Modules using the Menu-driven Interface

Set an IP address for a default gateway. This becomes necessary when the network
management station is located on a different IP network from the switch module, making
it necessary for management packets to go through a router to reach the network
manager, and vice-versa.
Set a list of up to eight secure IP addresses of network management stations that are
allowed to manage the interconnect switch. Only those network management stations can
access the switch management inerfaces once set.
Set a management VLAN ID (VID) for the IP interface so that the interconnect switch
can be accessed from the designated management VLAN.
Change the default SNMP community strings in the switch module and set the access
rights of these community strings.
Setting the Remote Management IP Interface Settings
To access and manage the interconnect switch from an SNMP-based Network Management
System, or by using the Telnet protocol or the Web, you must first configure the remote
management IP interface parameters.
The IP address can be assigned by one of the following methods:
Manual—This option allows you to manually configure an IP address, subnet mask, and
default gateway for the switch module.
BOOTP—This option configures the switch to send out a BOOTP broadcast request for
IP information. The BOOTP protocol allows IP addresses, network masks, and default
gateways to be assigned by a central BOOTP server attached to the same network to
which the interconnect switch is connected.
DHCP—This option configures the switch to send out a DHCP broadcast request. The
DHCP protocol allows IP addresses, network masks, and default gateways to be assigned
by a DHCP server attached to the same network to which the interconnect switch is
connected. DHCP protocol is the factory default mode.
