SNR S2940-8G-v2 Switch Configuration Guide
Switch management
Step 2 : Run HTTP protocol on the host.
Open the Web browser on the host and type the IP address of the switch, or run directly the
HTTP protocol on the Windows. For example, the IP address of the switch is 10.1.128.251 ;
When accessing a switch with IPv6 address, it is recommended to use the Firefox browser with
1.5 or later version. For example, if the IPv6 address of the switch is 3ffe:506:1:2::3. Input the
IPv6 address of the switch is http://[3ffe:506:1:2::3] and the address should draw together with the
square brackets.
Step 3 : Login to the switch.
Login to the Web configuration interface. Valid login name and password are required, other-
wise the switch will reject HTTP access. This is a method to protect the switch from unauthorized
access. As a result, when Telnet is enabled for configuring and managing the switch, username
and password for authorized Telnet users must be configured with the following command:
"username <username> privilege <privilege> [password (0|7) <password>]"
To open the local authentication style with the following command:
"authentication line web login local"
Privilege option must exist and just is 15. Assume an authorized user in the switch has a
username of admin , and password of admin , the configuration procedure should like the following:
Switch>enable
Switch#config
Switch(config)#username admin privilege 15 password 0 admin
Switch(config)#authentication line web login local
Notice: When configure the switch, the name of the switch is composed with English letters.
Manage the Switch via SNMP Network Management Software
The necessities required by SNMP network management software to manage switches:
1. IP addresses are configured on the switch;
2. The IP address of the client host and that of the VLAN interface on the switch it subordinates
to should be in the same segment;
3. If 2) is not met, the client should be able to reach an IP address of the switch through devices
like routers;
4. SNMP should be enabled.
The host with SNMP network management software should be able to ping the IP address of
the switch, so that, when running, SNMP network management software will be able to find it and
implement read/write operation on it. Details about how to manage switches via SNMP network
management software will not be covered in this manual.
