Remote Connections

Prior to accessing the switch's onboard agent via a network connection, you must
first configure it with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway using a
console connection, DHCP or BOOTP protocol.
The IP address for this switch is assigned via DHCP by default. To manually
configure this address or enable dynamic address assignment via DHCP or BOOTP,
see "Setting an IP Address" on page 2-6.
Note: This switch supports four concurrent Telnet sessions.
After configuring the switch's IP parameters, you can access the onboard
configuration program from anywhere within the attached network. The onboard
configuration program can be accessed using Telnet from any computer attached to
the network. The switch can also be managed by any computer using a Web
browser (Internet Explorer 5.0 or above, or Netscape Navigator 6.2 or above), or
from a network computer using network management software.
Note: The onboard program only provides access to basic configuration functions. To
access the full range of SNMP management functions, you must use
SNMP-based network management software.

Stack Operations

Up to eight 24-port Matrix V-Series switches can be stacked together as described in
the Installation Guide. One unit in the stack acts as the Master for configuration
tasks and firmware upgrade. All of the other units function in Slave mode, but can
automatically take over management of the stack if the Master unit fails.
To configure any unit in the stack, first verify the unit number from the front panel of
the switch, and then select the appropriate unit number from the web or console
management interface.
