3. CONFIGURING & MONITORING THE SWITCH
Common Tasks
The switch console menus allow you to modify default switch settings and
configure a switch for network management. They also allow you to
monitor switch performance and status. See Section 2, “VH-2402S2 User
Interface,” for an overview of the menu hierarchy and a description of all
menus. The following sections describe common tasks in setting up and
operating the VH-2402S2 switch using the console menus.
To begin, set operating parameters and make sure the network
connections are correct by performing these tasks:
• Setting password protection for the switch to prevent unauthorized
access to console menus
• Assigning an IP address for the switch if you plan to manage the
switch using SNMP, or if you use Telnet to access the switch
• Checking network configuration status and verifying that network
connections are correct
After the switch is installed and operating, you may want to perform any
of the following tasks:
• Connecting via Telnet for in-band access to the console menus
• Setting SNMP parameters for management access
• Viewing switch statistics to monitor and evaluate switch performance
and traffic patterns on the network
• Configuring port mirroring
• Downloading a software upgrade
