SECURITY ALERT:
The Get and Set, community name strings are initially configured with default
SECURITY ALERT:
values of Public and Private, respectively. These community name strings
function as passwords for their respective SNMP operation. It is always a good
idea to change these community name strings to something other than the default
values. If the defaults are left in place, they could result in a serious security
issue.
If the control network is nondedicated (going over the customer's network), make sure that
●
the 162/udp port for input to server is enabled (the default is disabled). Otherwise, the
media server cannot receive the traps from the Ethernet switch(es). See
settings

Configuring the Ethernet switch

Note:
Use the default addresses in the tables.
Note:
1. Connect the services laptop computer (RS-232 serial port) to the port labeled Console on
the front of Ethernet switch 1 (CNA) using the flat cable supplied with the Avaya Ethernet
switch.
2. Open a VT-100 terminal emulation session on the services laptop.
3. Set the IP address for the Ethernet switch.
4. Set the subnet mask for the Ethernet switch.
5. Set the gateway IP address for the Ethernet switch.
6. Set the IP address of the trap receiver (media server) for the Ethernet switch.
7. Set the SNMP community name string for Get, Set, and Trap. (See the section on SNMP
commands on the documentation CD that comes with the Avaya Ethernet switch.)
8. Verify that spanning tree is enabled (the default setting).
Use the command set spantree enabled.
9. Set spanning tree version to rapid-spanning-tree (not the default). This command is
available on Avaya P363 Ethernet switches having firmware version 4.0 or later. To use
this command, you must update the firmware to this version.
Use the command set spantree version rapid-spanning-tree.
Note:
