(Optional) You can enter the Optional Settings information now or enter it later by using the
Step 2
device manager interface:
In the Host Name field, enter a name for the switch module. The host name is limited to
–
31 characters; embedded spaces are not allowed.
In the System Contact field, enter the name of the person who is responsible for the switch
–
module. In the System Location field, enter the wiring closet, floor, or building where the
switch module is located.
In the Telnet Access field, click Enable if you are going to use Telnet to manage the switch
–
module by using the CLI. If you enable Telnet access, you must enter a Telnet password.
In the Telnet Password field, enter a password. The Telnet password can be from 1 to 25
–
alphanumeric characters, is case sensitive, allows embedded spaces, but does not allow spaces
at the beginning or end. In the Confirm Telnet Password field, re-enter the Telnet password.
In the SNMP field, click Enable to enable Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
–
Enable SNMP only if you plan to manage switches by using CiscoWorks 2000 or another
SNMP-based network-management system.
If you enable SNMP, you must enter a community string in the SNMP Read Community field,
the SNMP Write Community field, or both. SNMP community strings authenticate access to
MIB objects. Embedded spaces are not allowed in SNMP community strings. When you set
the SNMP read community, you can access SNMP information, but you cannot modify it.
When you set the SNMP write community, you can both access and modify SNMP
information.
Click Submit to save your settings, or click Cancel to clear your settings.
Step 3
When you click Submit, the switch module is configured and exits Express Setup mode. The
PC displays a warning message and then attempts to connect with the new switch module
IP address. If you configured the switch module with an IP address that is in a different subnet
from the PC, connectivity between the PC and the switch module is lost.
Disconnect the switch module from the PC, and install the switch module in your network.
Step 4
See the "Managing the Switch Module" section on page 19 for information about configuring
and managing the switch module.
If you need to rerun Express Setup, see the "Resetting the Switch Module" section on page 23.
To install additional switch modules, repeat the steps in the "Installing the Switch Module in the Blade
Server" section on page 6 through the "Running Express Setup" section on page 9.
