Configure the Cisco FC switch basic settings and community string

You must specify the basic settings with the setup command or after issuing the reload command.

Steps

  1. If the switch does not display the setup questions, issue the following command to configure the basic switch settings: setup
  2. Accept the default responses to the setup questions until you are prompted for the SNMP community string.
  3. Set the community string to public (all lowercase) to allow access from the Data ONTAP Health Monitors.
