Setting Up SNMP Management 43 3 Open your web browser and enter the IP address of the Switch that you wish to manage in the URL locator, for example, in the following format: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the Switch) 4 At the login and password prompts, enter admin as your user name and enter your password at the password prompt (or just press Return if you have not yet set a password). 5 Click on the Device View button to display the web management options. Setting Up SNMP Management Any network management application running the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) can manage a Switch if: ■ The correct Management Information Bases (MIBs) are installed on the management workstation. ■ The management workstation is connected to the Switch using a port in VLAN 1 (the Default VLAN). By default, all ports on the Switch are in VLAN 1. You can use the 3Com Network Supervisor application that is provided on the CD-ROM that accompanies your Switch to provide SNMP management for your Switch. If you use 3Com Network Supervisor it automatically loads the correct MIBs and necessary files onto your workstation. Pre-requisites ■ Documentation supplied with the SNMP network management application software. To manage your Switch using an SNMP network management application, you need to specify SNMP community strings for the users defined on the Switch. You can do this using the Web management interface - refer to the command line interface section of the "Switch Management Interface Reference Guide" for more information. Default Users and Passwords If you intend to manage the Switch using the web interface or the command line interface, or to change the default passwords, you need to log in with a valid user name and password. The Switch has two default user names, and each user name has a different password and level of access. These default users are listed in Table 9.
