Management Methods
The 24 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 24
Port SNMP Managed Switch. While Telnet management is done over the network. Once the
24 Port SNMP Managed Switch is on the network, you can use Telnet to log in and change
the configuration. The automatic log-out times can be programmed and are detailed on pages
36 and 56. See page 12 for details.
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.
