Current Values
This section displays values currently in use:
•
IP Address (IP address of SNMP agent)
•
Subnet Mask (mask to define IP subnet agent is connected to)
•
Default Gateway (default router for IP traffic outside subnet)
Command List
This section displays the commands available:
•
I = Enter New Saved Parameter Values
•
P = Change Password
•
T = New Trap Destination
•
K = Remove ALL Trap Destinations
•
C = New Community String
•
U = Delete ALL Community Strings
•
D = Enable/Disable DHCP
•
E = End Session

Space Bar = Device Specific Configuration commands
Note
Reboot after making any modifications to the Saved Values or the changes will not
take effect. To reboot, type reboot at the prompt on the main configuration
screen, or turn the chassis OFF then ON again by turning off the switches on the
back of the power supplies.
Assigning TCP/IP Information
To modify the Saved Parameter Values (i.e., assign IP address and subnet mask), press
I. Enter the IP address and subnet mask for the connected device, pressing Enter after
each. The default gateway can also be assigned, if desired (press Enter to skip).
When finished, press Enter, then type reboot for changes to take effect. The Saved
Values and Current Values should now both display the changes made (e.g., new IP
address and subnet mask).
Creating Community Strings for SNMP
The purpose of community strings is to add a level of security to a network. The
default community string is named "public" and has read/write access. Delete the
“public” string and add necessary custom communities strings such as one with read-
only access (for general use), the other with read/write access (for the administrator).
To create a new community string, go to the main configuration screen and press C.
