SNMP-based Management
The switch can be managed with an SNMP-compatible console program. The switch
supports SNMP v1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3.
Connecting to the Console Port
The front panel of the switch provides a mini-USB console port to connect a remote
system for monitoring and configuring the switch.
Note: to use the mini-USB console port, you may be required to install a mini-USB driver.
To use the mini-USB console port, the following equipment is needed:
A terminal or a computer with both an RS-232 serial port and terminal emulation
software
A console cable with a male DB9 connector on one end and a mini-USB connection
on the other
To connect the mini-USB console port on the switch to the computer:
Connect the male DB9 connector on the console cable (shipped with the switch) to
the RS-232 serial port on the computer running terminal emulation software, then
insert the mini-USB connector into the console port on the front of the switch.
To configure the terminal emulation software as follows:
Select the appropriate serial port (COM1 or COM2).
Set the data rate to 115200 baud.
Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
Set flow control to none.
Select VT100 for Emulation mode.
Select Terminal keys for Function, Arrow and Ctrl keys.
