Chapter 1: Managing the Switch

Configuration Options

For advanced management capability, the ES3616 provides a menu-driven
system configuration program. This program can be accessed by a direct or
modem connection to the serial port on the front panel (out-of-band), or by a
Telnet connection over the network (in-band).
The switch's managment functions are based on the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP). The embedded SNMP agent permits the switch
to be managed from any PC in the network using in-band management software
(such as Accton's AccView).
The switch also includes an embedded HTTP Web agent. This Web agent can
be accessed using a standard Web browser from any computer attached to the
network.
The system configuration program and the SNMP agent support management
functions such as:
• Enable/disable any port
• Set the communication mode for any port
• Configure SNMP parameters
• Select RMON options
• Display system information or statistics
• Configure the switch to join a Spanning Tree
• Add ports to network VLANs
• Configure ARP
• Configure BOOTP/DHCP relay
• Configure IP routing and multicast VLANs
• Display system information or statistics
• Download system firmware
• Restart the system
