3. Switch Management
To set up the Managed Switch, the user needs to configure the Managed Switch
for network management. The Managed Switch provides two management options:
Out-of-Band Management
and
In-Band Management.
Out-of-Band Management
Out-of-band management is the management through
Console interface.
Generally, the user will use out-of-band management for the initial switch
configuration
, or when in-band management is not available.
In-Band Management
In-band management refers to the management by logging in to the Managed
Switch using
Telnet
or
HTTP
, or using
SNMP
management software to configure
the Managed Switch. In-band management enables the management of the
Managed Switch to attach some devices to the Switch. The following procedures
are required to enable In-band management:
1. Logging on to console
2. Assigning/Configuring IP address
3. Creating a remote login account
4. Enabling HTTP or Telnet server on the Managed Switch
In case in-band management fails due to Managed Switch configuration changes,
out-of-band management can be used for configuring and managing the Managed
Switch.
Note
The Managed Switch is shipped with
Management Port
IP address
192.168.1.1/24
assigned and
VLAN 1 interface
IP address
192.168.0.100/24
assigned by default. User can assign another
IP address to the Managed Switch via the Console interface to
be able to remotely access the Managed Switch through Telnet or
HTTP.
