4. SWITCH MANAGEMENT
To manage the switch, you can make a direct connection to the console port (out-of-band), or you can manage it
through a network connection to the dedicated management port (out-of-band) using Telnet.
The switch’s management port (RJ-45) provides a dedicated management channel that operates outside of the
data transport network. This makes it possible to reconfigure or troubleshoot the switch over either a local or
remote connection to the Management port when access through the data channel is not possible or deemed
insecure.
For a detailed description of the switch’s software features, refer to the DCSS Administrator’s Guide available
online at https://supportforums.adtran.com .
