To add a management station:
Please enter the SNMP community string to be used [public]:public
NOTE:
If it is configured, the default access level is set to the highest available access for the SNMP
management interface. Initially only SNMPv1/2c will be activated. SNMPv3 is disabled until you return to
configure security access for SNMPv3 (e.g. engine ID, view, etc.).
Please enter the IP address of the Management System (A.B.C.D) or
wildcard (0.0.0.0) to manage from any Management Station
{0.0.0.0}: 192.168.2.100
Step 2:
Now we need to setup your initial privilege (Level 15) user
account. This account is used to login to the CLI and Web
interface. You may setup other accounts and change privilege
levels later. For more information on setting up user accounts and
changing privilege levels, see the user documentation.
To setup a user account:
Please enter the user name. [admin]:admin
Please enter the user password:********
Please reenter the user password:********
Step 3:
Next, an IP address is setup. The IP address is defined on the
default VLAN (VLAN #1), of which all ports are members. This is the
IP address you use to access the CLI, Web interface, or SNMP
interface for the switch. Optionally you may request that the
system automatically retrieve an IP address from the network via
DHCP (this requires that you have a DHCP server running on the
network).
To setup an IP address:
Please enter the IP address of the device (A.B.C.D) or enter "DHCP"
(without the quotes) to automatically request an IP address from
the network DHCP server. [192.168.2.1]:192.168.2.1
Please enter the IP subnet mask (A.B.C.D or /nn).
[255.255.255.0]:255.255.255.0
