Modifying Basic Switch Parameters - 3Com WX4400 Reference Manual

Modifying Basic
Switch Parameters
Basic switch parameters are displayed in the Content panel when you
select a switch in the Organizer panel.
1 Select the Configuration tool bar option.
2 In the Organizer panel, select the WX switch.
Basic parameters for the switch appear in the Content panel.
3 To modify the name, edit the string in the WX Name box.
4 To modify the serial number, edit the string in the Serial Number box.
Modification of the serial number applies only when you are prestaging a
specific switch. This option does not change the serial number of an
installed switch.
5 To modify the system IP address and VLAN, select them from the System
VLAN/IP drop-down list.
The system IP address determines the interface or source IP address MSS
uses for system tasks, including the following:
Mobility Domain operations
Topology reporting for dual-homed MAP access points
Default source IP address used in unsolicited communications such as
AAA accounting reports and SNMP notifications
6 To enable the switch to be managed by 3WXM, select Managed. Until
this option is selected, you cannot deploy the switch configuration you
create in 3WXM to the actual switch in the network.
This option also enables the Launch Telnet and Launch Browser options in
the Task List panel.
After selecting Managed to enable management of the switch by 3WXM,
do not change this option unless advised to do so by 3Com Technical
Support. If you change a WX switch to an unmanaged state in a network
plan, all network operations (polling) stop for that WX switch. If you
change back to a managed state, the entire configuration of the switch is
replaced with the settings from the network plan, which can result in loss
of connectivity to the switch.
7 To modify the management interface, select the IP interface and VLAN
from the VLAN/IP drop-down list.
8 To modify the enable password, edit the string in the Enable Password
box.
