Help Page Access
Every page contains a link to the online help , which contains information to assist in
configuring and managing the switch. The online help pages are context sensitive. For example, if
the IP Addressing page is open, the help topic for that page displays if you click Help.
Figure 1-7
on page 1-10 shows the location of the Help link on the Web interface.
User-Defined Fields
User-defined fields can contain 1-159 characters, unless otherwise noted on the configuration Web
page. All characters may be used except for the following (unless specifically noted in for that
feature):
Using SNMP
For GS700TR Smart Switch software that includes the SNMP module, you can configure SNMP
groups and users that can manage traps that the SNMP agent generates.
GS700TR Smart Switch uses both standard public MIBs for standard functionality and private
MIBs that support additional switch functionality. All private MIBs begin with a “-” prefix. The
main object for interface configuration is in -SWITCHING-MIB, which is a private MIB. Some
interface configurations also involve objects in the public MIB, IF-MIB.
SNMP is enabled by default. The System > Management > System Information web page,
which is the page that displays after a successful login and, for the supported MIBs, the System >
SNMP > SNMP v1/v2 > Supported MIBs web page, display the information you need to
configure an SNMP manager to access the switch.
Any user can connect to the switch using the SNMPv3 protocol, but for authentication and
encryption, the switch supports only one user which is admin; therefore there is only one profile
that can be created or modified.
To configure an SNMPv3 profile by using the Web interface:
1. Select System > SNMP > SNMPv3 > User Configuration from the hierarchical tree on the
left side of the Web interface.
2. From the User menu, select the User Name.
