Using the Onboard Administrator to Assign an IP Address to the Switch Module and Running Express Setup
Step 5
Click
Enable
in the
Daylight Savings Time
field to enable this feature.
Step 6
In the
Telnet Access
field, click
Enable
if you are going to use Telnet to manage the switch module by
using the CLI. If you enable Telnet access, you must enter a Telnet password.
Note
If you plan to create a switch stack, enable Telnet access so that you can use the CLI to set this
switch to the highest priority. See the
“Planning and Creating a Switch Stack” section on
page 2-13
for more information about creating a switch stack.
Step 7
In the
Telnet Password
field, enter a password. The Telnet password can be from 1 to 25 alphanumeric
characters, is case sensitive, allows embedded spaces, but does not allow spaces at the beginning or end.
In the
Confirm Telnet Password
field, re-enter the Telnet password.
Step 8
In the
SNMP
field, click
Enable
to enable Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Enable
SNMP only if you plan to manage switches by using CiscoWorks 2000 or another SNMP-based
network-management system.
Step 9
If you enable SNMP, you must enter a community string in the
SNMP Read Community
field, the
SNMP Write Community
field, or both. SNMP community strings authenticate access to MIB objects.
Embedded spaces are not allowed in SNMP community strings. When you set the SNMP read
community, you can access SNMP information, but you cannot modify it. When you set the SNMP write
community, you can both access and modify SNMP information.
Step 10
In the
System Contact
field, enter the name of the person who is responsible for the switch module. In
the
System Location
field, enter the wiring closet, floor, or building where the switch module is located.
Step 11
Click
Submit
to save your settings, or click
Cancel
to clear your settings.
You can close this window.
To install additional switch modules, repeat the steps in the
“Installing the Switch Module in the Blade
Enclosure” section on page 2-6
through the
“Using the Onboard Administrator to Assign an IP Address
to the Switch Module and Running Express Setup” section on page 2-9
.
Setting the Installed Switch Module As the Stack Master
If you plan to create a switch stack, we recommend that you set the switch module that you first
configured as the stack master. To do this, you must assign the highest priority value to this switch
module. To assign a priority value after you have installed and initially configured the first switch
module, follow these steps:
Step 1
Launch a Telnet session by connecting directly to the switch through its console port, or by using the
Onboard Administrator:
On the left side of the Onboard Administrator, click
+
next to
Interconnect Bays
to expand it, then click
+
next to the name of the switch you want to set as the switch master. Click
Management Console
to
open the device manager for the switch, and if prompted, enter the user name and password for the
switch. Under Contents, choose
Maintenance > Telnet
.
Step 2
Enter
enable
.
Step 3
Enter
configure terminal
.
Step 4
Enter
switch 1 priority 15
.
