4 Feature Configuration
This chapter explains how to configure the Managed Switch’s software features. There are
four ways to access the switch: Serial console, Telnet, Web browser and SNMP.
The Managed Switch Series provides both in-band and out-band configuration methods.
You can configure the switch via RS232 console cable if you don’t attach your admin PC to
your network, or if you lose the network connection to your Managed Switch. This is
so-called out-band management. It wouldn’t be affected by the network performance.
The in-band management means you can remotely manage the switch via the network.
You can choose Telnet or Web-based management. You just need to know the device’s IP
address. Then you can remotely connect to its embedded HTML web pages or Telnet
console.
The Web management page is developed by JAVA. It allows you to use a standard
web-browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, or Mozila, to configure and interrogate
the switch from anywhere on the network.
Note
: IE 5.0 or later versions do not allow Java applets to open sockets by default. Users
have to directly modify the browser settings to selectively enable Java applets to use
network ports.
