Management Methods
The 8 Port SNMP Managed Switch supports following management methods:
•
Console and Telnet Management
•
Web-based Management
•
SNMP Network Management
Console and Telnet Management
Console Management is done through the RS-232 Console Port. Managing the 24 Port SNMP
Managed Switch in this method requires a direct connection between PC and the 8 Port SNMP
Managed Switch. While Telnet management is done over the network. Once the 8 Port SNMP
Managed Switch is on the network, you can use Telnet to log in and change the configuration.
The automatic log-out times is currently set at less than 1 minute, however this duration will be
extended in the next software release.
Web Based Management
The switch can be managed using a standard web browser that supports Java applets. This
interface has the same functionality as the console/Telnet interfaces but is more user-friendly.
See page 38 for details.
SNMP Network Management
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) provides a means to monitor and control a
network device, and to manage configurations, statistic collection, performance and security.
Data is passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware & software processes reporting activity
in each network device to the workstation console used to oversee the network. The agent
returns information contained in a MIB (Management Information Base), which is a data
structure that defines what is obtainable from the device and what can be controlled.
