User Interfaces and Protocols used to access the 7600 Card
In-Band &
Out-of-Band
Management
Configuration of the 7600 Card can be performed via an Administration
Console or an SNMP-based external network management application
running on a workstation.
There are two ways of managing the 7600 Card:
Q
In-band, using virtual terminal protocols or
SNMP network manager
protocol.
Each SNMP
network manager
has its own user interface to
the management facilities.
Q
Out-of-band, by connecting a VT100 terminal (or a PC with terminal
emulation software) to the serial port on the CELLplex 7000 unit in
which the 7600 Card is installed. The VT100 management interface,
which is a menu-driven user interface built into the 7600 Card, is
used. This management interface provides many of the same features
as SNMP management.
