3Com 4005 Switch User Manual


 
8 CHAPTER 2: RELEASE ISSUES FOR SWITCH FABRIC MANAGEMENT MODULES
To gain access to the SFMM command interface, the system prompts
you for a username and password. The default username is
admin
(lowercase), but there is no default password. The first time that you
log in, simply press Enter at the password prompt.
To define a password for your system, use the
system management
password
command at the prompt. After you enter the password, the
SFMM user interface prompts you to reenter it to verify it.
If two SFMM modules are installed, synchronization messages may be
displayed after the Login prompt, followed by the cursor. Simply press
the Enter key to display the Login prompt again.
If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer to access the Web
management interface for the Switch 4005, you may need to adjust
the refresh settings for the browser as described below.
To ensure proper screen refresh, configure Internet Explorer 5.x as
follows: Under the menu “Tools / Internet Options / General /
Temporary Internet Files / Settings,” the setting for item “Check for
newer versions of stored pages” should be “Every visit to the page.”
When using Internet Explorer 5.0, you may have to manually refresh
the screen after making configuration changes by pressing the
browser’s refresh button.
When using a browser to access the Web management interface for
the Switch 4005, note that the optimal screen resolution is 800 x 600.
Because STP is enabled by default on the Switch, you must first disable
STP before you can use BOOTP to get an IP address for the system
from the network.
Ping does not report the number of hops.
Known Problems This section describes known problems that apply to the SFMM in this
release:
In some meshed configurations when using RIP with the Spanning
Tree Protocol disabled, if a topology change occurs, the routing tables
may not update correctly which could cause packets to be lost. To
avoid this scenario do not disable the Spanning Tree Protocol.
The command bridge/vlan/detail does not allow you to view a subset
of VLANs. You can display details for either one or all of the VLANs.
