LevelOne GSW-1290 Gigabit Layer2 SNMP Switch
The GSW-1290 is automatically started as the Master Switch when it is connected in a Switch stack. It is
necessary however to enable stacking for each slave Switch in a stacked group before interconnecting them
and before connecting the group to the network. Stacking can be enabled by connecting to each slave
through the console port and using the CLI stacking configuration command. Before stacking has been
enabled on the slaves, the IEEE 1394 port is treated logically as an individual 1000BASE port in full-
duplex mode. Since the Spanning Tree Protocol is disabled by default, a broadcast storm will result if the
stacking link is completed between Switches
that have not been properly configured.
NOTE:
The CLI stacking command set
for the GSW-1290 is slightly different
from the CLI stacking command set for
the GSW-2492. Please refer to the CLI
Reference Manual for details.
Management Options
The system may be managed out-of-band through the console port on the front panel or in-band using
Telnet, a web browser or SNMP-based management.
Web-based Management Interface
After you have successfully installed the Switch, you can configure the Switch, monitor the LED panel, and
display statistics graphically using a web browser, such as Opera, Netscape Navigator (version 6.2 and
higher) or Microsoft
®
Internet Explorer (version 5.0).
NOTE:
To access the Switch through a web browser, the computer
running the web browser must have IP-based network access to the
Switch.
Command Line Console Interface through the Serial Port or Telnet
You can also connect a computer or terminal to the serial console port or use Telnet to access the Switch.
The command-line-driven interface provides complete access to all Switch management features. For a full
list of commands, see the Command Line Reference Manual, which is included on the documentation CD.
SNMP-Based Management
You can manage the Switch with an SNMP-compatible console program. The Switch supports SNMP
version 1.0, version 2.0 and version 3.0. The SNMP agent decodes the incoming SNMP messages and
responds to requests with MIB objects stored in the database. The SNMP agent updates the MIB objects to
generate statistics and counters.
The Switch supports a comprehensive set of MIB extensions:
•
RFC 1643 Ether-like MIB
•
RFC 1724 RIPv2 MIB
•
RFC 1757 RMON
•
RFC 1850 OSPF MIB
•
RFC 1907 SNMPv2 MIB
•
RFC 2021 RMON II MIB
•
RFC 2096 IP-FORWARD MIB
•
RFC 2233 IF-MIB
•
RFC 2358 Ethernet-Link MIB
•
RFC 2573 SNMP Notification and Target MIB
•
RFC 2574 SNMP User-based SM MIB
•
RFC 2575 SNMP View-based ACM MIB
