3. Configuration
The configuration programs are supplied with the SP6824P Switch. Unlike the
unmanaged switch (dumb switch), the switch performs "management"
functions that make the switch operate more effectively. This Chapter will
describe the use of the switch Management Configuration program.
Preparing for configuration
SP6824P Management Switch offers a console CLI interface for switch
configuration and management. Users can use this interface to perform the
activities such as configuring DHCP, ARP, assigning IP address and
upgrading firmware etc.
There are four methods to manage your switch:
Local Console
Management You can manage the switch locally by connecting the switch to a PC
or workstation with terminal emulation software using the serial port.
Remote Console
Management
You can manage the switch by having a remote host establish a
Telnet connection to the switch via an Ethernet or modem link.
SNMP Management
You can manage the switch across a LAN using a SNMP Network
Management Station with a graphical user interface. Note that to use
this management method, your network must use the IP protocol
and your switch must be configured on the Network with a proper IP
address. You may use any of the following method to manage the
switch.
Web-Browser
You can manage the switch through a web connection by connecting
to the switch’s IP address using your web browser.
This User Guide provides instructions on how to configure the switch using the
console interface. Read the following sections to start up:
