Managing Your Hub
Getting Started
There are two ways in which you can manage your StackPro II
10/100 Dual-Speed Hub with the SNMP Module - through a
command console interface and a Web-based interface.
The command console interface is the first one that you will
use when you first install the module and power on your hub.
The command console interface looks just like a basic text-
based command-line terminal. You can change settings, save
firmware upgrades, manage your ports, and perform other
basic functions. However, the command console interface is
meant to be used primarily as a way to set up your StackPro
Hub's SNMP module for use with the more powerful Web-
based interface.
The Web-based interface allows you to access your manage-
ment module over a network of any kind using a Web browser
or network management application. With a Web browser such
as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, (any
browser that supports Java, frames, and HTML 3.2 or higher
will do the trick), you can access the managed hub simply by
entering the IP address of the hub in the browser's address
box.
A network management application, such as Hewlett Packard
OpenView, allows greater control and more features than a
Web browser. The RMON feature of your management mod-
ule can only be utilized by a compatible network management
application.
