he following screen will be shown:
For IP Networks.
Enter the IP address of the target switch, switch name,
or MAC address.
This option initiates a Telnet session to another ATI managed switch. This
option is useful when you are managing remote networks.
NOTE
If you are specifying the system by its system name, be sure to enclose the
name in single quotation marks (for example, ‘
name
’).
When the Telnet connection is established, you will see the remote system’s
Main Menu. Note that a thorough discussion of Telnet and remote
connectivity was discussed in Chapter 2 and you are referred to that
information.
Local switch management does not require TCP/IP addresses. If you are
NOT going to have a TCP/IP network then all switches and devices can be
identified by either a name convention of your choice or by a MAC address
which is assigned and integrated into each switch by the manufacturer).
The switch displays its name at the top of the screen in an Omega session.
This is particularly useful if you have more than one system. You can also use
the name when initiating an Omega session via Telnet from another switch.
