address. The static DHCP does not obtain an IP address from a pool of addresses
on a DHCP server unless one is explicitly set up for a given MAC address. For
example, In Windows NT
address. Assign an IP address from the pool of current addresses. Configure the
router, IP address, and subnet mask for the switch's MAC address. The switch
supports no other DHCP options.
Configuring the BootP
For BootP, the BootP server must have the appropriate information configured for
the switch. A newly installed switch broadcast a BootP request over IP when it is
powered on or reset. The BootP server, using information from its BOOTPTAB file,
provides the switch with configuration information.
The following is an example of a BOOTPTAB file entry containing configuration
information for the switch:
8275_416_Switch_1:ht=ethernet:ha=0004ac6b0980:\
8275_416_Switch_2:ht=ethernet:ha=0004ac6b09C0:\
Where:
ht
ha
ip
gw
sm
Configuration information obtained from the BootP server is not saved unless you
select SAVE. Next, configure the Network Configuration Protocol.
Configuring the switch for DHCP or BootP
If you are using DHCP or BootP, you must configure the appropriate information for
the switch. To do so, configure the Network Configuration Protocol as follows:
1. On the Main Menu, select Management Menu.
2. On the Management Menu, select Network Connectivity Configuration Menu,

Configuring the SNMP community

The switch has an SNMP agent that complies with SNMP Version 1 (SNMPv1). For
more about the SNMP specification, see the appropriate SNMP RFCs. The SNMP
agent sends traps through TCP/IP to an external SNMP manager based on your
SNMP configuration. SNMP configuration for the switch includes configuring the trap
receiver and SNMP community parameters, which are described in the following
text.
If you do not use the default community information, you must configure the SNMP
agent with a community name for the switch. A community name is a name
associated with the switch and with a set of SNMP managers allowed to manage it
with a specified privileged level. You can add, change or delete communities. The
switch does not have to be reset for changes to take effect. Up to six communities
are simultaneously supported.
