Using the BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switch
Configuration and Switch Management
The BayStack 350 switch is shipped directly from the factory ready to operate in
any 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX standard network. You can manage the switch
using any generic SNMP-based network management software; however, you
must assign an IP address to the switch. You can set the switch's IP address by
using the Console/Comm Port or BootP, which resides on the switch.
For more information about using the Console/Comm Port to configure the
switch, see Chapter 3, "Using the Console Interface."
Network Configuration
You can use BayStack 350 switches to connect workstations, personal computers
(PCs), and servers to each other by connecting these devices directly to the switch,
through a shared media hub that is connected to the switch, or by creating a virtual
LAN (VLAN) through the switch.
