Setup Utility - Avaya 8800 Commissioning Manual

For SNMP and FTP, after a password expires, access is denied. Before you access the system,
you must change a community string to a new string consisting of more than eight
characters.
Consider the following after you enable the hsecure flag:
• You cannot enable the Web server.
• You cannot enable the SSH password authentication.
Filtering mechanism
Beginning with Release 4.1, incorrect IP source addresses as network or broadcast addresses
are filtered at the virtual router interface. For example, V1 has the network address
192.168.168.0/24.
This change is valid for all IP subnets, not only for /24 as mentioned in the example. Source
addresses 192.168.168.0 and 192.168.168.255 are discarded.
You can filter addresses only if you enable the hsecure mode.

Setup utility

To optimize the function of the Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 8800/8600, you can obtain a
list of hardware modules. Because the latest modules provide advanced features, they work
in certain operation modes that previous modules do not support. The setup utility monitors
system requirements and obtains the highest system performance.
Use the setup utility to configure your switch by responding to a series of on-screen questions.
The setup utility saves the information in the boot and run-time configuration files. The saved
information and files ensure the switch restarts in the desired operating mode. The setup utility
also provides error and warning messages to advise you of the ramifications of certain
hardware and software configurations.
For more information about the supported operating modes, see Avaya Ethernet Routing
Switch 8800/8600 Administration, NN46205-605.
The setup utility prompts you through the configuration process by asking a series of questions.
Answer each question or accept the default by pressing Enter. Each question shows the default
in brackets ([ ]) and the acceptable parameter options in parenthesis.
After you run the setup utility, restart the switch.
The following figures show sample output from the setup utility. This example uses the default
values.
