Initial Configuration

1553-KDU 137 365 Uen D 2006-06-16
In the system flash memory, one file of each type must be set as the start-up file.
During a system boot, the diagnostic and operation code files set as the start-
up file are run, and then the start-up configuration file is loaded.
Note that configuration files should be downloaded using a file name that reflects
the contents or usage of the file settings. Downloading a file directly to the
running-configuration file (running-config) causes the system to reboot, and the
settings then have to be copied from the running-config to a permanent file.
When specifying file names for configuration or code files, take note of the
following restrictions:
• File names on the ECN330-switch are case-sensitive.
• The length can be from 1 to 31 characters.
• The name must not contain slashes (\ or /).
• The leading letter of the file name must not be a period (.).
• Valid characters are A-Z, a-z, 0-9, “.”, “-”, and “_”.
5.2 Connecting to the ECN330-switch
5.2.1 Configuration Options
When the ECN330-switch is set to ECN330 mode (see “Enabling the SBC to
Access Advanced Management Tools” on page 74), it can be managed by the
Ethernet Node Controller (also called Single-board Computer or SBC). When
set to either ECN330 mode or ECN330-switch mode, the Ethernet switch
functions can be managed by the software described in this manual.
The ECN330-switch includes a built-in network management agent. The agent
offers a variety of management options, including SNMP, RMON, and a web-
based interface. A PC may also be connected directly to the ECN330-switch for
configuration and monitoring through a Command Line Interface (CLI).
Note: The IP address for the ECN330-switch is obtained through DHCP by
default. To change this address, see section 5.3.4 on page 42.
The ECN330-switch’s management agent is based on SNMP (Simple Network
Management Protocol). This SNMP agent permits the ECN330-switch to be
managed from any system in the network using management software.
