• Sets up the SNMP community string to be used by the SNMP manager at a given IP address. You may choose to skip this step if SNMP management is not used for this switch. If it is configured, the default access level is set to the highest available access for the SNMP management interface. Initially only SNMPv1/2c is activated. SNMPv3 is disabled until you return to configure security access for SNMPv3 (for example, engine ID, view, etc.). The SNMP community string may include spaces. The wizard requires the use of quotation marks when you want to enter spaces in the community string. Although spaces are allowed in the community string, their use is discouraged. The default community string contains no spaces. • Allows you to specify the management server IP or permit SNMP access from all IP addresses. • Sets up the default gateway IP address. If you do not use the wizard initially, the session defaults to the CLI mode. The set-up wizard continues to display each time you login until a configuration is saved. Once saved, the wizard option is only presented again if you reset the switch to the factory-default settings. Since a switch may be powered on in the field without a serial connection, the switch waits 60 seconds for you to respond to a set-up prompt if the switch has not yet been configured. If there is no response, the switch continues normal operation using the default factory configuration. The next time the system reboots you are given another opportunity to run the set-up wizard.
