Switch Manager Table 15: IP configuration parameters Parameter Network Discovery IP Address Subnet mask Gateway Description Use one of the following methods to assign the IP address: ■ Static-Uses the IP configuration parameters entered in the Switch Properties dialog box. ■ BootP-Acquires the IP configuration from a BootP server. ■ RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol)-Acquires the IP address from an RARP server. An RARP request is broadcast with up to three retries, each at 5 second intervals. If no IP address is obtained, the switch reverts to the previously configured IP address. ■ DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)-Acquires the IP configuration from a DHCP server. If no satisfactory lease is obtained, the DHCP client attempts to use the previously configured lease. If the previous lease cannot be used, no IP address is assigned to this switch in order to avoid an IP address conflict. The DHCP server must then be made available. If a BootP, RARP, or DHCP server is not available, the switch attempts to use a previously assigned valid lease. If no lease was ever assigned, the switch attempts to use the previously assigned static IP address. Internet Protocol (IP) address for the Ethernet port. Default: 10.0.0.1. Subnet mask address for the Ethernet port. Default value: 255.0.0.0. IP gateway address. Default: 10.0.0.254.

SNMP Configuration parameters
The SNMP configuration defines how authentication traps are managed.
Table 16
describes
the SNMP configuration parameters. Illegal characters for the user-defined boxes are the
pound sign (#), semi-colon (;), and comma (,).
Table 15:
IP configuration parameters
Parameter
Description
Network
Discovery
Use one of the following methods to assign the IP address:
■
Static—Uses the IP configuration parameters entered in the Switch
Properties dialog box.
■
BootP—Acquires the IP configuration from a BootP server.
■
RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol)—Acquires the IP address from
an RARP server. An RARP request is broadcast with up to three retries,
each at 5 second intervals. If no IP address is obtained, the switch reverts to
the previously configured IP address.
■
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)—Acquires the IP
configuration from a DHCP server. If no satisfactory lease is obtained, the
DHCP client attempts to use the previously configured lease. If the previous
lease cannot be used, no IP address is assigned to this switch in order to
avoid an IP address conflict. The DHCP server must then be made
available.
If a BootP, RARP, or DHCP server is not available, the switch attempts to use a
previously assigned valid lease. If no lease was ever assigned, the switch
attempts to use the previously assigned static IP address.
IP Address
Internet Protocol (IP) address for the Ethernet port. Default: 10.0.0.1.
Subnet mask
Subnet mask address for the Ethernet port. Default value: 255.0.0.0.
Gateway
IP gateway address. Default: 10.0.0.254.
Table 16:
SNMP Configuration parameter
Parameter
Description
SNMP Enabled
Enables or disables SNMP communication with other switches
in the fabric.
Contact
Specifies the name (up to 64 characters) of the person who is
to be contacted to respond to trap events.
The default is “undefined”.
Read Community
Read community password (up to 32 characters) that
authorizes an SNMP agent to read information from the
switch. This is a write-only box. The value on the switch and
the SNMP management server must be the same.
The default is “public”.
Trap Community
Trap community password (up to 32 characters) that
authorizes an SNMP agent to receive traps. This is a
write-only box. The value on the switch and the SNMP
management server must be the same.
The default is “public”.
SNMP Proxy
If enabled, you can use SNMP to monitor and configure any
switch in the fabric.
