Accessing the switch 9
4. Configuring the default gateways allows the switch to send outbound traffic to the routers.
>> IP Interface 256# ../gw 4 (Select default gateway 4)
>> Default gateway 4# addr 205.21.17.1 (Assign IP address for a router)
>> Default gateway 4# ena (Enable default gateway 4)
5. Apply, verify, and save the configuration.
>> Default gateway 4# apply (Apply the configuration)
>> Default gateway 4# save (Save the configuration)
>> # /cfg/dump (Verify the configuration)
NOTE: When the dhcp function on this switch is enabled, the IP address obtained from the DHCP
server overrides the static IP address configured manually.
Using the Browser-based Interface
By default, the Browser-based Interface (BBI) protocol is enabled on the switch. The Browser-based Interface (BBI)
provides access to the common configuration, management and operation features of the switch through your Web
browser. For more information, see the Browser-based Interface Reference Guide.
The BBI is organized at a high level as follows:
•
Configuration — These menus provide access to the configuration elements for the entire switch.
•
System — Configure general switch configuration elements.
•
Switch ports — Configure switch ports and related features.
•
Port-based port mirroring — Configure mirrored ports and monitoring ports.
•
Layer 2 — Configure Layer 2 features, including trunk groups, VLANs, and Spanning Tree Protocol.
•
RMON menu — Configure Remote Monitoring (RMON) functions.
•
Layer 3 — Configure all of the IP related information, including IGMP Snooping.
•
Uplink Failure Detection — Configure a Failover Pair of Links to Monitor and Links to Disable.
•
Statistics — These menus provide access to the switch statistics and state information.
•
Dashboard — These menus display settings and operating status of a variety of switch features.
Using Simple Network Management Protocol
The switch software provides SNMP v1.0 and SNMP v3.0 support for access through any network management
software.
SNMP v1.0
To access the SNMP agent on the switch, the read and write community strings on the SNMP manager should be
configured to match those on the switch. The default read community string on the switch is public and the
default write community string is private.
The read and write community strings on the switch can be changed using the following commands on the CLI.
>> /cfg/sys/ssnmp/rcomm
and
>> /cfg/sys/ssnmp/wcomm
The SNMP manager should be able to reach the management interface or any one of the IP interfaces on the
switch.
For the SNMP manager to receive the traps sent out by the SNMP agent on the switch, the trap host on the switch
should be configured with the following command:
/cfg/sys/ssnmp/snmpv3/taddr
For more details, see “Configuring SNMP trap hosts”.
