Grass Valley K2 Storage System Instruction Manual v.3.1 - Manual (Page 199)

September 6, 2006 K2 Storage System Instruction Manual 199
Setting up the Level 3R redundant GigE switches
14.You now configure an administrator username. You can use the default K2
administrator username “K2admin” or your site’s username for administering the
K2 Storage System. For example, to set the username to “K2admin” type the
following:
15.password manager user-name K2admin.
16.When prompted for the password, enter a password. You can use the default K2
password “K2admin” or your site’s password for administering the K2 Storage
System.
17.Decide your SNMP community name as explained in the following options, then
proceed with the next step:
• If you decide to use a unique SNMP community name (not “public”), add the
community and set its RW permissions. For example, if the community name is
“K2”, type the following:
snmp-server community K2 unrestricted
• 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.
18.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:
snmp-server host public 192.168.40.11
19.Enable Authentication traps by typing the following:
snmp-server enable traps authentication
This allows NetCentral to test the switch to verify that it can send its SNMP trap
messages to NetCentral.
20.Type menu to get to menu mode. When prompted, save the configuration.
21.If you need a trunk for ISLs to gang switches together, use the following steps.
These steps illustrate trunking the last two ports for the two 10 Gig ISLs, which is
the recommended configuration for ISLs on all multi-switch K2 Storage Systems.
Refer to
“Design considerations for Ethernet switches” on page 376 and consult
with your Grass Valley representative if your requirements deviate from the
recommended policy:
a. At the main menu, select Switch Configuration .
b. Choose selection 2, Port/Trunk Settings .
c. Press the right-arrow key to choose Edit , then press Enter .
d. Down arrow until at the bottom of the list of ports.
e. Right-arrow over to the Group column.
f. Use the Space bar and set the bottom port to Trk1 . On a switch with the 10 Gig
ISLs, this would be an ISL (Port 26).
g. Set the next port up also to Trk1 . On a switch with the 10 Gig ISLs, this would
be the other ISL (Port 25).
