1.2 Management Options
Switch management options available in MS400870M Series are listed and described
below:
Local Console Management
Telnet Management
SNMP Management
WEB Management
Local Console Management
Local Console Management is done through the RS-232 DB-9 Console port located in the
back of the MS400870M Series Switch. Direct RS-232 cable connection between the PC
and the Managed switch is required for this type of management.
Telnet Management
Telnet runs over TCP/IP and allows you to establish a management session through the
network. Once the Managed switch is on the network with proper configurations, you can
use Telnet to login and monitor its status remotely.
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 RJ45 LAN cable
connection between a PC and the Managed Switch is required for Web Management.
