Connecting to the Switch
Configuration Options
The switch includes a built-in network management agent. The agent
offers a variety of management options, including SNMP, RMON, and a
Web-based interface. A PC may also be connected directly to the switch
for configuration and monitoring via the console menu.
Note: The IP address for this switch is unassigned by default. To change
this address, see "Setting an IP Address" on page 2-5.
The switch's HTTP Web agent allows you to configure switch parameters,
monitor port connections, and display statistics using a standard Web
browser such as Netscape Navigator version 6.2 and higher or Microsoft
IE version 5.0 and higher. The switch's Web management interface can be
accessed from any computer attached to the network.
The switch's management agent is based on SNMP (Simple Network
Management Protocol). This SNMP agent permits the switch to be
managed from any system in the network using management software,
such as SMC's free EliteView software.
The console menu can be accessed by a direct connection to the RS-232
serial console port on the switch, or remotely by a Telnet connection over
the network.
