Switch Management - Planet Networking & Communication SGS-6310 Series Quick Installation Manual

2. 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. Log on to console
2. Assign/Configure IP address
3. Create a remote login account
4. Enable 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 VLAN1 interface IP address
192.168.0.254/24 assigned by default. User can assign another
IP address to the Managed Switch via the console interface to be
able to remotely access the Managed Switch through Telnet or
HTTP.
