Setting up the Nearline GigE switches
• 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).
h. Press
Enter
, then right-arrow to
Save
. Press
Enter
again and revert to previous
menu.
22.Return to the main menu.
23.From the main menu, tab to
Command Line (CLI)
and press
Enter
. The command
prompt appears.
24.Type show flash to check the version of firmware currently installed on the
switch. Information is displayed similar to the following example:
HP_iSCSI_switch1# show flash
