SNMP network supporting the STA. Using the STA, the
network will prevent network loop, and automatically
establish and activate a backup path in the event of a path
failure.
Console port (RS-232 DCE)
Out-of-band management requires connecting a PC (with a
SNMP management platform) to the RS-232 DCE console
port of the Switch. Switch management using terminal
emulation/VT100 when connected to the RS-232 DCE
console port is called Local Console Management to
differentiate it from management done via management
platforms.
The console port is set for the following configuration:
◊
Baud rate: 9,600
◊
Parity: none
◊
Data width: 8 bits
◊
Stop bits: 1

In addition, you can also set in the Switch an IP Address for
a gateway or a router. It is useful when the network
management station is not located on the same network as
