management system using an application that supports Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP).
The following topics are described in this chapter:
•

SNMP Setup
1. Attach the switch to the console and start a console session as described in
Chapter 5, “Accessing Switch Management”.
2. Make the necessary configurations in the
IP Configuration
screen.
3. Make the necessary configurations in the
SNMP Configuration
menu and the
following subscreens:
•
Community String
screen
•
Trap Receiver
screen
The following sections describe the SNMP setup menus.
IP Configuration Screen
The
IP Configuration
screen sets the IP address, gateway address, subnet mask,
and IP state.
The IP Address and Default Gateway must be in the same subnet address class—
that is, Class A, Class B, or Class C. The system prevents you from entering values
from different classes. If you do inadvertently enter an incorrect value, enter 0.0.0.0
in every field, then reenter the correct values.
Refer to Chapter 6, “Switch Configuration” for a complete description on how to
configure the
IP Configuration
menu.
