15.Select Return to Main Menu and press Enter .
16.From the main menu, tab to Command Line (CLI) and press Enter . The command
prompt appears.
17.Type the following, then press Enter :

You are now in configuration mode.

administrator username. For example, to set the username to “administrator” type
the following, then press

21.Decide your SNMP community name as explained in the following options, then

“K2”, type the following, then press
Enter :

• If you decide to use the default SNMP community “public” for NetCentral
monitoring, which already has RW permissions set as required by NetCentral,
proceed to the next step.
22.Enter the SNMP community and IP address of the NetCentral server PC. For
example, if the IP address is “192.168.40.11” and the community is “public”, you
type the following, then press
Enter :
snmp-server host public 192.168.40.11

is the recommended configuration for ISLs on all multi-switch K2 Storage
Systems. Refer to
“Design considerations for Ethernet switches” on page 559 and
