The Factory Default function is included to give users a quick way of restoring the IE-SW-VL08M’s
configuration settings to their factory default values. This function can be accessed from either the
telnet/RS-232 Console, or Web Browser interface.
NOTE
After activating the Factory Default function, you must use the default network settings to
re-establish a web-browser or Telnet connection with your Weidmueller Switch.
Configuring SNMP
Weidmueller Industrial Ethernet switches support SNMP protocol. The available versions are
SNMP V1, SNMP V2c, and SNMP V3. SNMP V1 and SNMP V2c use a community string match
for authentication, which means SNMP servers access all objects with read-only or read/write
permissions using the community string
public/private
(default value). SNMP V3, which requires
you to select an authentication level of MD5 or SHA, is the most secure protocol. You can also
enable data encryption to enhance data security.
SNMP security modes and security levels supported by the device are shown in the following table.
Select the security mode and level that will be used to communicate between the SNMP agent and
