The DFE-2616i, DFE-2616ix, DFE-2624i, and DFE-2624ix master hubs
(hereafter and elsewhere referred to as,
FE-2600 series master hubs”)
provide an on-board console program that allows you to set up and control all
DFE-2600 hubs stacked with it. This program can be accessed either with an
ordinary terminal (or terminal emulator) or over the network using the
TCP/IP TELNET protocol. You can use this program to perform many basic
network management functions.
The console program also allows you to prepare the hub for management
using D-View or another SNMP-based network management system. This
chapter describes how to use the console program to access the hub, change
its settings, and monitor its operation.
Note that if you want to manage the hub in-band you need to follow the in-
structions in the first section of this chapter to prepare the hub for in-band
management. If you need information about connecting a console device to
the diagnostic port for out-of-band management, see the relevant sections of
Chapter 4.
