Network management
LANCOM Systems offers three types of switches: unmanaged switches,
websmart switches, and managed switches.
A
Unmanaged switches are not configurable.
A
Websmart switches are configurable only by their web-based GUI.
Additionally, these switches offer an integrated network management
agent, which allows managing via SNMP or RMON (Groups 1, 2, 3, 9).
A
Managed switches support configuration via LANCOM Management
Cloud (LMC), a web-based GUI, or CLI (Command Line Interface via SSH
or Telnet). For outband management, these switches either provide a
front-sided RJ45 console port, or a serial port at the front- or backside
of the device. This port can be used for connecting a null-modem cable
to a PC for configuration and monitoring purposes.

A LANCOM switch automatically contacts the LMC for 24 hours
after startup (boot / reset) to successfully terminate the coupling.
This enables zero-touch deployment for operation with the LMC.
