Accessing The Ci Menus And Screens; Using The Ci Menus And Screens - Nortel BayStack 450-24T Using Manual

Using the BayStack 450 10/100/1000 Series Switch

Accessing the CI Menus and Screens

You can access the CI menus and screens locally through a console terminal,
remotely through a dial-up modem connection, or in-band through a TELNET
session (see "Console/Comm Port" on page 2-10).
Note: If your stack configuration includes one or more Business Policy Switch
2000 switches, you must use the Business Policy Switch 2000 switch console
interface to configure or monitor your stack.
You can also manage the BayStack 450 switch using Nortel Networks Optivity
network management software or any generic SNMP-based management
software; however, for the switch management function to become fully
operational, you must supply certain parameters such as the switch IP address or
stack IP address, if configured (see "Initial Setup" on page 2-17).
Note: If you have a properly configured BootP server in your network, it will
detect the IP address; you will not need to configure the IP address.
For information about SNMP, see your network management documentation.

Using the CI Menus and Screens

The CI menus and screens provide options that allow you to configure and
manage the BayStack 450 switch.
Help prompts at the bottom of each menu and screen explain how to enter data in
the highlighted field and how to navigate the menus and screens. Some options
allow you to toggle among several possible values; other options allow you to set
or modify a parameter.
