Management Setup Menu

After initially logging onto the system, adjust the communication parameters for your 
console to ensure a reliable connection (Serial Port Configuration). Specify the IP 
addresses for the switch (Network Configuration / IP Configuration), and then set the 
Administrator and User passwords (Console Login Configuration). Remember to 
record them in a safe place. Also set the community string which controls access to 
the on-board SNMP agent via in-band management software (SNMP Configuration). 
The items provided by the Management Setup Menu are described in the following 
sections.
