2. In the Management Port section, confirm the port configuration values that were defined when the controller was physically deployed on the network. If applicable, edit these values:
   • Static IP Address — Displays the IPv4 address for the controller‘s management port. Revise this as appropriate for the enterprise network.
   • Netmask — Displays the appropriate subnet mask for the IP address to separate the network portion from the host portion of the address.
   • Gateway — Displays the default gateway of the network.
   • Static IPv6 Address — Displays the IPv6 address for the controller‘s management port. Revise this as appropriate for the enterprise network.
   • Prefix Length — Length of the IPv6 prefix. Maximum is 64 bits.
   • Gateway — Displays the default gateway of the network.
3. In the SNMP section, click V2c or V3 in the Mode drop-down list to enable SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), if applicable.

   If you selected V2c, the Community options display:

   • Read Community — Type the password that is used for read-only SNMP communication.
   • Write Community — Type the password that is used for write SNMP communication.
   • Trap Destination — Type the IP address of the server used as the network manager that will receive SNMP messages.

   • Enable — Click to enable Syslog Server.
   • IP Address — Enter the IP address for the Syslog Server.
4. In the OSPF section, select the Enable checkbox to enable OSPF (Open Shortest Path First), if applicable. Use OSPF to allow the controller to participate in dynamic route selection. OSPF is a protocol designed for medium and large IP networks with the ability to segment routes into different areas by routing information summarization and propagation.

   Do the following:

   • Area ID — Type the desired area. Area 0.0.0.0 is the main area in OSPF.
5. In the Syslog Server section, select the Enable checkbox to enable the syslog protocol for the controller, if applicable. Syslog is a protocol used for the transmission of event notification messages across networks.
   In the IP Address box, type the IP address of the syslog server.
