2 If you are using a terminal emulator, you must have an IP stack correctly
installed on the terminal emulator.
3 Your terminal or terminal emulator must be connected to the Switch
using a port that is in VLAN 1 (the Default VLAN). By default, all ports on
the Switch are in VLAN 1. For more information about VLANs, see
"Virtual LANs (VLANs)"
4 To open the Telnet session, you must specify the IP address of the Switch.
Check the documentation supplied with the Telnet facility if you are
unsure how to do this.
Any network management application running the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) can manage a Switch if:
The correct MIBs (Management Information Bases) are installed on the
management workstation
The management workstation is connected to the Switch using a port
in VLAN 1 (the Default VLAN). By default, all ports on the Switch are in
VLAN 1. For more information about VLANs, see
(VLANs)" on page
For information about using an SNMP network management application
to manage a Switch, see the documentation supplied with the software.
