M4100 Series Managed Switch
The managed switch use both standard public MIBs for standard functionality and private
MIBs that support additional switch functionality. All private MIBs begin with a “-” prefix. The
main object for interface configuration is in -SWITCHING-MIB, which is a private MIB. Some
interface configurations also involve objects in the public MIB, IF-MIB.
SNMP is enabled by default. The System Management System Information screen,
which is the screen that displays when you log in, displays the information that you need to
configure an SNMP manager to access the switch.
Any user can connect to the switch using the SNMP v3 protocol, but for authentication and
encryption, the switch supports only one user, which is admin; therefore only one profile can
be created or modified.
To configure authentication and encryption settings for the SNMP v3 admin profile:
1. Prepare your computer with a static IP address in the 169.254.100.0 subnet, for
example, 169.254.100.201.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from an Ethernet port on your computer to an Ethernet port on
the switch.
3. Launch a web browser.
4. Enter the IP address of the switch in the web browser address field.
The default IP address of the switch is 169.254.100.100.
The Login screen displays.
5. Enter the user name and password.
The default admin user name is admin and the default admin password is blank, that is,
do not enter a password.
6. Click the Login button.
The web management interface menu displays.
7. Select System SNMP SNMP v3 User Configuration.
The User Configuration screen displays.
8. To enable authentication, select an Authentication Protocol option, which is either MD5 or
SHA.
9. To enable encryption, select the DES option in the Encryption Protocol menu Then, enter
an encryption code of eight or more alphanumeric characters in the Encryption Key field.
10. Click the APPLY button.
Your settings are saved.
