Switch Management - Planet EMQ-SGS-5240 Series Quick Installation Manual

3. Switch Management

To set up the Managed Switch, the user needs to configure the Managed Switch
for network management. The Managed Switch provides two management options:
Out-of-Band Management and In-Band Management.
 Out-of-Band Management
Out-of-band management is the management through Console interface.
Generally, the user will use out-of-band management for the initial switch
configuration, or when in-band management is not available.
 In-Band Management
In-band management refers to the management by logging in to the Managed
Switch using Telnet or HTTP, or using SNMP management software to configure
the Managed Switch. In-band management enables the management of the
Managed Switch to attach some devices to the Switch. The following procedures
are required to enable In-band management:
1. Logging on to console
2. Assigning/Configuring IP address
3. Creating a remote login account
4. Enabling HTTP or Telnet server on the Managed Switch
In case in-band management fails due to Managed Switch configuration changes,
out-of-band management can be used for configuring and managing the Managed
Switch.
The Managed Switch is shipped with Management Port IP address
192.168.1.1/24 assigned and VLAN 1 interface IP address
192.168.0.100/24 assigned by default. User can assign another
IP address to the Managed Switch via the Console interface to
Note
be able to remotely access the Managed Switch through Telnet or
HTTP.
