Switch Access - Olicom CrossFire 8730 Installation Manual

4. Switch Access

The CrossFire 8730 Switch can be configured in two ways:
1. Using the switch console .
You can access the switch console inteface
— directly, by conneting a VT100 terminal emulator to the RS-232 port
labelled MANAGEMENT.
— remotely, via Telnet.
2. Using SNMP based graphical management applications :
— The Olicom Switch Manager for HP OpenView for Windows
— Other Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) based applications
This chapter only describes how to access the switch console via the
MANAGEMENT port. Refer to the section
line CrossFire 8730 Fast Ethernet Translation Switch — Reference Guide
information on configuring serial console and/or telnet console sessions.
Network management applications (in-band management) are beyond the scope of
this guide. However, note that to be able to manage the switch by the network
management application via SNMP, you will have to configure a few settings first
in the switch console. These are typically the IP Address, SNMP Community, and
Trap Receiver.
For more information on the network management applications, see the Olicom
Switch Manager for HP OpenView—Guide to Operations or the documentation
supplied with you network management application.
