Configuring the Management Port for Alteon Application Switch 4416,
5224, 5224 XL, 5412, and 5412 XL
The management port, MNG 1 and MNG 2, are used exclusively to manage the Alteon Application
Switch. Although the device can be managed from any network port, the management port saves
consuming a port that could otherwise be used for processing data and traffic. These port manage
the device using Telnet CLI, SSH CLI, SNMP, HTTP, or HTTPS. The ports are isolated from and does
not participate in the networking protocols that run on the network ports.
Management ports must be configured with a static IP address, subnet mask, broadcast address,
and default gateway, and must be enabled before they can be used. If the ports are disabled, the
network ports have to perform all device management (other than the device management using
the console). If the ports are enabled, the factory default settings for some of the management
features remain with the network ports. You can change the defaults by configuring these features
to permanently use the management ports.
