•
If applicable, the DNS name server.

If using an external SNMP manager to communicate with the NAM you must configure the
following:
–
SNMP MIB variables
–
Access control for the SNMP agent
–
System group settings on the NAM
•
Start the web server using the
ip http server enable
command.
To configure these parameters for the NAM, perform these steps in privileged mode:
Step 1
Verify that the NAM is installed and that the power is on by entering this command:
Console>
show module
mod
Step 2
Establish a console session with the NAM by entering this command:
Console> (enable)
session
mod
Step 3
At the login prompt, type

to log into the root account.
Step 4

as the root password.
Note
If you have not changed the password from the factory-set default, a warning message
displays. To change the password from the default, see the
