Using the Management Port
The Management Port allows the switch to be managed without taking any of the data ports
offline. Refer to
“Management Port” on page 16
for additional information on the Management
Port. For more information on the configuration and usage of the Management Port, refer to the
Command Reference
contained on the CD supplied as part of the documentation kit provided with
the unit.
The integrated SSL Accelerator blade on the Application Switch 2424-SSL is configurable
through the Management Port but cannot be managed remotely. For remote management a
network data port must be used.
Using Network Ports
Establish connections between the switch and the server with the help of the network ports using
connectors and cables. Apart from establishing a Layer 2 link, network data ports can also be used
to manage the switch.
More information on using the network ports can be found in the
Command Reference
contained
on the CD supplied as part of the documentation kit provided with the unit.
Upgrading the Software
The Application Switch is provided with software installed and configured with factory default
settings. For more information about upgrading the switch software, refer to the
Command
Reference
contained on the CD supplied as part of the documentation kit provided with the unit. To
upgrade an Application Switch 2424-SSL, refer to the
SSL Accelerator Command Reference
supplied as part of the documentation kit provided with the unit.
