GS728TS, GS728TPS, GS752TS, and GS752TPS Gigabit Smart Switches Help Page Access Every page contains a link to the online help , which contains information to assist in configuring and managing the switch. The online help pages are context sensitive. For example, if the IP Addressing page is open, the help topic for that page displays if you click Help. Figure 3 on page 24 shows the location of the link to the Help Page on the Web interface. User-Defined Fields User-defined fields can contain 1 to 159 characters, unless otherwise noted on the configuration Web page. All characters may be used except for the following (unless specifically noted in for that feature): \ < / >| * | ? Using SNMP The GS728TS, GS728TPS, GS752TS, and GS752TPS switches software supports the configuration of SNMP groups and users that can manage traps that the SNMP agent generates. GS728TS, GS728TPS, GS752TS, and GS752TPS switches use both standard public MIBs for standard functionality and private MIBs that support additional switch functionality. All private MIBs begin with a "-" prefix. The main object for interface configuration is in -SWITCHING-MIB, which is a private MIB. Some interface configurations also involve objects in the public MIB, IF-MIB. SNMP is enabled by default. The System > Management > System Information Web page, which is the page that displays after a successful login, displays the information you need to configure an SNMP manager to access the switch. Any user can connect to the switch using the SNMPv3 protocol, but for authentication and encryption, the switch supports only one user which is admin; therefore there is only one profile that can be created or modified. To configure authentication and encryption settings for the SNMPv3 admin profile by using the Web interface: 1. Navigate to the System > SNMP > SNMPv3 > User Configuration page. 2. To enable authentication, select an Authentication Protocol option, which is either MD5 or SHA. 3. To enable encryption, select the DES option in the Encryption Protocol field. Then, enter an encryption code of eight or more alphanumeric characters in the Encryption Key field. 4. Click Apply. To access configuration information for SNMPv1 or SNMPv2, click System > SNMP > SNMPv1/v2 and click the page that contains the information to configure. 29
