Parameter Description

Interface Type

Indicates IP over Ethernet.

IP Address

IP address of the switch you are managing. The system supports SNMP over UDP/IP

transport protocol. In this environment, all systems on the Internet, such as network

interconnection devices and any PC accessing the agent module must have an IP

address. Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers, of 0 to 255, and separated by

periods. Anything outside of this format will not be accepted by the configuration

program.

Subnet Mask

Subnet mask of the switch. This mask identifies the host address bits used for routing

to specific subnets.

Default Gateway Gateway used to pass trap messages from the system’ s agent to the management

station. Note that the gateway must be defined (when operating at Layer 2) if the

management station is located in a different IP segment.

IP State

Specifies whether IP functionality is enabled via manual configuration, or set by Boot

Protocol (BOOTP).

Options include:

USER-CONFIG - IP functionality is enabled based on the default or user specified IP

Configuration. (This is the default setting.)

BOOTP Get IP - IP is enabled but will not function until a BOOTP reply has been

received. BOOTP requests will be periodically broadcasted by the switch in an effort

to learn its IP address. (BOOTP values can include the IP address, default gateway,

and subnet mask.)

VLAN ID

The VLAN used for management access when “Mgmt VLAN” is selected. See the

next item.

Mgt. Access

Specifies which VLAN have access right to its management interface. Options

include:

All VLANs – All VLANs have access right to its management interface. (This is the

default setting.)

Mgmt VLAN – Only the specified VLAN have access right to its management interface
