Management Options
This switch provides multiple access platforms that can be used to configure, manage and monitor networking
features available on this switch. Currently there are three management platforms available and they are described
below.
The Command Line Interface (CLI) through the Serial Port or remote Telnet
This switch can be managed, out-of-band, by using the console port on the front panel of the switch. Alternatively, the
switch can also be managed, in-band, by using a Telnet connection to any of the LAN ports on this switch. The
command line interface provides complete access to all switch management features.
SNMP-based Management
The switch can be managed with an SNMP-compatible console program. The switch supports SNMP version 1.0,
version 2.0 and version 3.0. The SNMP agent decodes the incoming SNMP messages and responds to requests with
MIB objects stored in the database. The SNMP agent updates the MIB objects to generate statistics and counters.
Web-based Management Interface
After successfully installing the switch, the user can configure the switch, monitor the LED panel, and display statistics
graphically using a Web browser, such as Microsoft® Internet Explorer (version 6.0 and later), Mozilla Firefox (version
3.0 and later), Safari (version 4.0 and later), Google Chrome (version 5.0 and later), Opera (version 9.0 and later), and
Netscape (version 7.0 and later).
Connecting to the Console Port
The front panel of the switch provides a console port that enables a connection to a computer monitoring and
configuring the switch. The console port is an RJ-45 port and requires a special cable that is included with the switch,
to establish the physical connection.
To use the console port, the following equipment is needed:
A terminal or a computer with both an RS-232 serial port and the ability to emulate a terminal.
A console cable with a male DB-9 connector on one end and an RJ-45 connection on the other. This cable
should be included with the switch. It establishes the physical connection to the console port.
Using a terminal to connect to the console port:
Connect the male DB-9 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 RJ-45 connector into the RJ-45 console port on the front
of the switch.
