Variable definitions
Variable
Value
IP Configuration
Management VLAN
ID of the configured Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) (Range:
1 to 4094).
This is the only VLAN through which you can gain management
access to the switch. By default, all ports on the switch
are members of VLAN 1, so a management station can be
connected to any port on the switch. However, if other VLANs are
configured and you change the management VLAN, you can lose
management access to the switch. In this case, reconnect the
management station to a port that is a member of the management
VLAN.
IP Address Mode
Select the configuration method.
If you select Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or
Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP), the IP address does not function
until a reply is received from the server. The switch periodically
broadcasts a request for an IP address.
IP Address
For Static IP Address Mode, enter the IP address of the
management access VLAN interface.
Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers, 0 to 255, separated
by periods. (Default: 192.168.1.128)
Subnet Mask
For Static IP Address Mode, enter the host address bits used for
routing to specific subnets. (Default: 255.255.255.0)
Gateway IP address
For Static IP Address Mode, enter the IP address of the gateway
router between this device and management stations that exist on
other network segments. (Default: 0.0.0.0)
MAC Address
The MAC address of this switch.
SNMP Community:
SNMP Community Capability
The number of community strings supported by the BES50.
Current
List of currently configured community strings.
Community String
Type the name of the community string. The name acts like a
password and permits access to the SNMP protocol.
Default strings: PlsChgMe!RO (read-only access), PlsChgMe!RW
(read/write access). Range: 1 to 32 characters, case-sensitive.
Access Mode
Select the access rights for the community string:
•
Read-Only—Authorized management stations can only
retrieve Management Information Base (MIB) objects.
•
Read/Write—Authorized management stations can retrieve
and modify MIB objects.
