The system is not setup for SNMP management by default. To manage the switch using SNMP (required for Dell Network Manager) you can: o Set up the initial SNMP version 2 account now. o Return later and setup other SNMP accounts. (For more information on setting up an SNMP version 1 or 3 account, see the user documentation). Would you like to setup the SNMP management interface now? [Y/N] y To setup the SNMP management account you must specify the management system IP address and the "community string" or password that the particular management system uses to access the switch. The wizard automatically assigns the highest access level [Privilege Level 15] to this account. You can use Dell Network Manager or other management interfaces to change this setting, and to add additional management system later. For more information on adding management systems, see the user documentation. To add a management station: Please enter the SNMP community string to be used. {public}: public Please enter the IP address of the Management System (A.B.C.D) or wildcard (0.0.0.0) to manage from any Management Station. {0.0.0.0}: 192.168.2.1 Step 2: Now we need to setup your initial privilege (Level 15) user account. This account is used to login to the CLI and Web interface. You may setup other accounts and change privilege levels later. For more information on setting up user accounts and changing privilege levels, see the user documentation. To setup a user account: Please enter the user name: admin Please enter the user password: ******** Please reenter the user password: ******** Step 3: Configuring Dell PowerConnect 85
