Huawei IPC6221-VRZ-SP - Setting 802.1 X Parameters; Setting SNMP Parameters

7.5 Setting 802.1X Parameters
802.1X is a network connection protocol used to authenticate devices connected to the
network. It can prevent unauthorized users/equipment from accessing the LAN/WLAN
through an access port. If the switch in the network has been configured with 802.1X
parameters, the 802.1X parameters also need to be configured on the IPC. Otherwise, you
may not log in to the IPC.
NOTE
802.1X parameters set on the IPC are valid only when the switch supports the MD5 authentication.
Procedure
Step 1 Choose Settings > Network Configuration > 802.1X Parameters.
The 802.1X Parameters page is displayed, as shown in Figure 7-8.
Figure 7-8 802.1X Parameters page
Step 2 Select Enable.
Step 3 Set EAPOL version, EAP identity, and password. EAPOL is short for extensible
authentication protocol over LAN.
NOTE
l Obtain specific parameter values from the network administrator.
l To improve security, the password must consist of 8 to 20 characters and contain at least two types of the
following: digits, letters and special characters.
Step 4 Click Save.

7.6 Setting SNMP Parameters
By setting Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) parameters, you can view and
modify IPC configurations on the network management system (NMS), which facilitates IPC
maintenance and management.
Context
When the IPC is connected to the NMS through the SNMP protocol, you can obtain and
modify IPC configurations on the NMS.
The SNMP protocol includes the SNMP v1, SNMP v2c, and SNMP v3 versions.
NOTE
To improve security, you are advised to use SNMP v3 and set Privacy protocol to AES.
The IPC reports related information to the NMS.
