Configuration Manager Editor window: Switch

The Configuration Manager Editor window: Switch component allows you to configure the login information and network protocols that the switch will use.

Introduction

The Switch component allows you to change the user name and password for all switch modules of this type. In addition, you can select the protocols that the switch module can use. You can choose from HTTP, Telnet, and SNMP.

Fields

Login
Chassis Slot
The default value is all, which indicates the login information applies to all chassis slots that include a switch module of this type. If you select a specific slot number, this profile will only apply to that switch.
Change default user name and password
If this check box is selected, the Create New Account fields are enabled so that you can change the user name and password for all switch modules of this type. You can use the same user name and password as that specified for the management modules. If the switch modules are already configured, you might want to leave the check box cleared.
User name
If the Change default user name and password check box is cleared, you can specify the user name that is already configured for the switch. This is a required field.
Password
If the Change default user name and password check box is cleared, you can specify the password that is already configured for the switch. This is a required field.
Create New Account
When the Change default user name and password check box is selected, the following fields are enabled so that you can change the user name and password for all switch modules of this type.
User name
The user name to associate with all switch modules of this type. When the Change default user name and password check box is selected, this is a required field.
Password
The password to associate with all switch modules of this type. When the Change default user name and password check box is selected, this is a required field.
Confirm password
Reentry of the password to verify accuracy. When the Change default user name and password check box is selected, this is a required field.
Configure Switch IP Address
Get IP Address from IP Pool
