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
