Configuring the Switch
You can enter the Optional Settings information now or enter it later by using the device manager
interface.
Figure 2-6
Advanced Settings Tab
Step 3
In the Host Name field, enter a name for the switch module. The host name is limited to 31 characters;
embedded spaces are not allowed.
Step 4
In the System Date and System Time fields, enter the current date and time, or use the down arrows to
select them.
Step 5
In the Time Zone field, use the down arrow to choose your time zone.
Step 6
Click Enable in the Daylight Savings Time field to enable this feature.
Step 7
In the Telnet Access field, click Enable if you are going to use Telnet to manage the switch module by
using the CLI. If you enable Telnet access, you must enter a Telnet password.
Note
If you plan to create a switch stack, enable Telnet access so that you can use the CLI to set this
switch to the highest priority (usually 15). See the
“Planning and Creating a Switch Stack (Only
3130G-S and 3130X-S Switches)” section on page 2-17
for more information about creating a
switch stack.
Step 8
In the Telnet Password field, enter a password. The Telnet password can be from 1 to 25 alphanumeric
characters, is case sensitive, allows embedded spaces, but does not allow spaces at the beginning or end.
In the Confirm Telnet Password field, re-enter the Telnet password.
Step 9
In the SNMP field, click Enable to enable Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Enable
SNMP only if you plan to manage switches by using CiscoWorks 2000 or another SNMP-based
network-management system.
Step 10
If you enable SNMP, you must enter a community string in the SNMP Read Community field, the
SNMP Write Community field, or both. SNMP community strings authenticate access to MIB objects.
Embedded spaces are not allowed in SNMP community strings. When you set the SNMP read
community, you can access SNMP information, but you cannot change it. When you set the SNMP write
community, you can both access and change SNMP information.
