Connecting to the Switch
Configuration Options
The switch includes a built-in network management agent. The agent
offers a variety of management options, including SNMP, RMON
(Groups 1, 2, 3, 9) and a web-based interface. A PC may also be connected
directly to the switch for configuration and monitoring via a command line
interface (CLI).
Note:
The IP address for this switch is obtained via DHCP by default.
To change this address, see “Setting an IP Address” on page 2-6.
The switch’s HTTP web agent allows you to configure switch parameters,
monitor port connections, and display statistics using a standard web
browser such as Netscape Navigator version 6.2 and higher or Microsoft
IE version 5.0 and higher. The switch’s web management interface can be
accessed from any computer attached to the network.
The CLI program can be accessed by a direct connection to the RS-232
serial console port on the switch, or remotely by a Telnet connection over
the network.
The switch’s management agent also supports SNMP (Simple Network
Management Protocol). This SNMP agent permits the switch to be
managed from any system in the network using network management
software such as SMC EliteView.
