SNMP Configuration parameters
The SNMP configuration defines how authentication traps are managed. Table 16 describes
the SNMP configuration parameters. Illegal characters for the user-defined boxes are the
pound sign (#), semi-colon (;), and comma (,).
Table 15: IP configuration parameters
Parameter Description
Network
Discovery
Use one of the following methods to assign the IP address:
■
Static—Uses the IP configuration parameters entered in the Switch
Properties dialog box.
■
BootP—Acquires the IP configuration from a BootP server.
■
RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol)—Acquires the IP address from
an RARP server. An RARP request is broadcast with up to three retries,
each at 5 second intervals. If no IP address is obtained, the switch reverts to
the previously configured IP address.
■
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)—Acquires the IP
configuration from a DHCP server. If no satisfactory lease is obtained, the
DHCP client attempts to use the previously configured lease. If the previous
lease cannot be used, no IP address is assigned to this switch in order to
avoid an IP address conflict. The DHCP server must then be made
available.
If a BootP, RARP, or DHCP server is not available, the switch attempts to use a
previously assigned valid lease. If no lease was ever assigned, the switch
attempts to use the previously assigned static IP address.
IP Address Internet Protocol (IP) address for the Ethernet port. Default: 10.0.0.1.
Subnet mask Subnet mask address for the Ethernet port. Default value: 255.0.0.0.
Gateway IP gateway address. Default: 10.0.0.254.
