3. Change the parameters as desired.
The parameters are described below:
System Name
This parameter specifies a name for the switch (for example, Sales
Ethernet switch). Entering a value for this parameter is optional.
Note
You should assign each switch a name. The names can help you
identify the various switches in your network. This can help you
avoid performing a configuration procedure on the wrong switch.
Administrator
This parameter specifies the name of the network administrator
responsible for managing the switch. Entering a value for this
parameter is optional.
Comments
This parameter specifies additional information about the Fast
Ethernet switch, such as its location (e.g., Floor 4, Wiring closet
402B). Entering a value for this parameter is optional.
Password
Confirm Password
These parameters are used to change the administrator’s login
password for the switch. The password can be from 2 to 10
characters in length. The same password is used for both local and
remote management sessions. To create a new password, enter
the new password into both fields. The default password is
“admin”.
Caution
The password should not contain any spaces or special characters,
such as asterisks (*) or exclamation points (!). This is particularly
important if you will be managing the switch from a web browser.
Most web browsers cannot handle special characters in passwords.
IP address
This parameter specifies the IP address of the switch. You must
specify an IP address if you intend to remotely manage the switch
using a web browser, a Telnet utility, or an SNMP management
program.
Subnet mask
This parameter specifies the subnet mask for the switch. You must
specify a subnet mask if you assigned an IP address to the switch.
