Switch Management

In-Band Connections

Prior to accessing the switch's onboard agent via a network connection, you must
first configure it with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway using an
out-of-band connection or the BOOTP protocol.
Note: By default BOOTP is disabled and the IP address is set to 192.168.10.1. See
"IP Configuration" on page 2-10.
After configuring the switch's IP parameters, you can access the onboard
configuration program from anywhere within the attached network. The onboard
configuration program can be accessed using Telnet from any computer attached to
the network. The switch can also be managed by any computer using a Web
browser (Internet Explorer 4.0 or above, or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or above), or
from a network computer using network management software.
Notes: 1. This switch supports four concurrent Telnet sessions.
2. The onboard program only provides access to basic configuration functions.
To access the full range of SNMP management functions, you must use
SNMP-based network management software.
