SSH Management
SSH Management supports encrypted data transfer to prevent the data from being
“stolen”
due to remote management. You can use PuTTY, a free and open source terminal
emulator application which can act as a client for the SSH, to gain access to the Managed
Switch.
SNMP Management
SNMP is also done over the network. Apart from standard MIB (Management Information
Bases), an additional private MIB is also provided for SNMP-based network management
system to compile and control.
Web Management
Web Management is done over the network and can be accessed via a standard web
browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. Once the Managed switch is available on the
network, you can login and monitor the status of it through a web browser remotely or locally.
Local Console-type Web management, especially for the first time use of the Managed
Switch to set up the needed IP, can be done through one of the 10/100Base-TX 8-pin RJ-45
ports located at the front panel of the Managed Switch. Direct RJ
-
45 LAN cable connection
between a PC and the Managed Switch is required for Web Management.
1.3 Management Software
Following is a list of management software options provided by this Managed Switch:

Managed Switch CLI interface

SNMP-based Management Software

Web Browser Application
Console Program
The Managed Switch has a built-in Command Line Interface called the CLI which you can
use to:

Configure the system

Monitor the status

Reset the system
You can use CLI as the only management system. However, another network management
option, SNMP-based management system, is also available.
You can access the text-mode Console Program locally by connecting a VT-100 terminal -
or a workstation running VT100 emulation software - to the Managed Switch RS-232 DB-9
Console port directly. Or, you can use Telnet to login and access the CLI through network
connection remotely.
