Switch Management Setup

The Management Setup screen allows you to con-
figure IP, IPX and SLIP parameters for the Switch.
This screen also allows you to display screens for
setting up the console port and traps.
To access the Setup screen, from the Switch Main
Menu screen, select the MANAGEMENT SETUP
option. The Setup screen appears as shown in
Figure 3-4.
If you change some of the following parameters,
the Switch must be reset for the change to take
effect. Reset the Switch by selecting OK and press-
ing the Reset button on the rear of the unit. Refer
to "Unit Overview — Rear"
The screen shows the following:
MAC Address This read-only field shows the MAC
address of the Switch unit, which is required for
management.
Power On Self Test Type Normal / Extended This
field allows you to determine the type of self-test
that the Switch carries out when it is powered-up. If
the field is set to Normal, the Switch performs a
Fast Boot — a basic confidence check lasting
approximately 18 seconds. When the Switch per-
forms a Fast Boot, it carries out the following tests:
Checksum test of boot and system areas of Flash
memory
System memory tests
MAC address verification test
on page 1-9.

If the field is set to Extended, the Switch performs

and 45 seconds to complete. When the Switch per-
forms an Extended test, it carries out the Fast Boot
tests and more extensive tests on system memory
and ASIC memory. The default setting for the field is
Normal.
