Installing the iMatrix Switch
Overview
The procedure for installing the iMatrix Switch follows these basic steps:
Plan the installation
Configure IP parameters
Mount the iMatrix Switch
Connect the Management Port
Connect to the Span ports
Connect to the monitoring devices
Apply power to the iMatrix Switch
Check the installation
Installation Planning
There are two methods for connecting your iMatrix Switch to monitoring
devices. To determine which method best suits your application, please take a
moment to review the features listed below.
Single iMatrix Switch Mode
• A single iMatrix Switch controlled from the CLI or remote interfaces.
Daisy Chaining Mode
Allows up to three iMatrix Switches to be controlled through a iMatrix
Switch designated as the Controller.
Remote Access
The remote access feature requires that you assign an IP address to the
iMatrix Switch. If you are daisy chaining iMatrix Switches, you only need an
IP address for the Controller iMatrix Switch. You may also wish to assign a
netmask.
If you plan to remotely access and control the iMatrix Switch over WAN, you
can also set a gateway and IP address where you plan to use System Manager
or other SNMP management tool.
