ONNECTIONS
Prior to accessing the switch’s onboard agent via a network connection,
you must first configure it with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and
default gateway using a console connection, or DHCP protocol.
The IP address for this switch is obtained via DHCP by default. To manually
configure this address or enable dynamic address assignment via DHCP,
see “ Setting an IP Address .”

This switch supports four concurrent Telnet or SSH sessions.
After configuring the switch’s IP parameters, you can access the onboard
configuration program from anywhere within the attached network. The
command-line interface can be accessed using Telnet from any computer
attached to the network. The switch can also be managed by any computer
using a web browser (Internet Explorer 5.0 or above, Netscape 6.2 or
above, or Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.0 or above), or from a network computer
using SNMP network management software.
The onboard program only provides access to basic configuration functions.
To access the full range of SNMP management functions, you must use
SNMP-based network management software.
