Configuration Options
For advanced management capability, the TigerStack 100 management
agent provides a menu-driven system configuration program. This
program can be accessed by a direct or modem connection to the serial
port on the rear panel (out-of-band), or by a Telnet connection over the
network (in-band).
The management agent is based on SNMP (Simple Network Management
Protocol). This SNMP agent permits the switch to be managed from any
PC in the network using in-band management software (such as SMC’s
EliteView).
The management agent also includes an embedded HTTP Web agent. This
Web agent can be accessed using a standard Web browser from any
computer attached to the network.
The system configuration program and the SNMP agent support
management functions such as:
• Enable/disable any port
• Set the communication mode for any port
• Configure SNMP parameters
• Configure VLANs or multicast filtering
• Display system information or statistics
• Configure the switch to join a Spanning Tree
• Download system firmware
• Restart the system
