Step 5: set a community name or change TCP/IP information
After you have set the TCP/IP information, you can change it using any of the
ways you set the information, or by doing one of the following. This is also the
way to set a community name.
• Telnet to port 9000 to change the information.
1
Type the following at the command prompt:
telnet ip.address -p 9000
where
ip.address is the IP address you’re using, such as 9.51.8.231.
2
Follow the instructions on the screen.
• FTP a file to the param directory. The param directory is a special directory
where you can change special TCP/IP-related parameters.
The format of this file should be:
PASSWORD: 00000000
ADDRESS: 9.51.8.50
NETMASK: .
GATEWAY: 9.51.8.30
COMMUNITY: paul
END
• You must put a space after the colon, and the headers must be capitalized.
• If you want a parameter to remain unchanged, you should type a period
for that parameter (such as the NETMASK example above).
• If you have set a password for the adapter, you must include the password
in the file so you’ll be able to change the information. If you have not set
a password for the adapter, substitute a period for the password parameter.
• The community name must be less than 30 characters long.
• You must send the file in ASCII mode (not binary).
