6.3.5 Changing LAN Switch Settings

This section explains how to change LAN switch settings.

6.3.5.1 Changing LAN Switch Basic Settings

This section explains how to change LAN switch basic settings.

The following settings can be changed.

• LAN switch name (node name for management purposes)

• Admin LAN (IP address)

• User name (LAN switch blade only)

• Password (LAN switch blade only)

• Privileged password (LAN switch blade only)

• SNMP community

Complete the changes to the settings on the target LAN switch before performing this procedure.

Use the following procedure to change LAN switch settings:

1. In the RC console resource tree or network resource tree, right-click the target LAN switch name and select [Modify]-[Registration Settings] from the popup menu.

   The [Modify LAN Switch] dialog is displayed.

2. Edit the information in the [Modify LAN Switch] dialog and click the <OK> button.

   The settings for the LAN switch are changed with the entered information.

Note

It is possible to set the IP address of the target switch to another unregistered LAN switch. However, this will result in the Resource Coordinator VE configuration being inconsistent with the actual network configuration.
If the IP address of the target switch is set to the same address as that of another unregistered LAN switch unintentionally, change back the target LAN switch IP address to its original value according to the instructions given in this section.
If there are more than one LAN switch with inconsistent IP address configurations, delete all registered LAN switches according to "6.4.4.2 Deleting LAN Switches (Non-Blade Switches)" first, then perform "Discover" and "Register" according to "6.1.4.2 Registering LAN Switches (Non-Blade Switches)".

6.3.5.2 Changing VLANs set on External LAN Switch Ports
