Configuration Using Web Based Management And Command Line Interface - Siemens SCALANCE X-300 Configuration Manual

Configuration using Web Based Management and
Command Line Interface
Introduction
To make the best possible use of the technical possibilities of the IE switches, you can adapt
the configuration of the device to the concrete situation in which it is used. There are two
ways of configuring an IE switch:
● With the Command Line Interface, you can reach the IE switches over Telnet (assuming
there is an Ethernet connection) or over the serial interface (IE Switch X-400 only).
● Web Based Management accesses the configuration of an IE switch using a Web
browser. An Ethernet connection to the IE switch is necessary.
Note
Depending on the selected configuration method, the following mechanisms are
integrated to prevent unauthorized access to an IE switch:
• CLI over the serial interface (IE Switch X-400 only), TELNET or SSH
• Web Based Management
There is an automatic logout after 5 minutes (CLI) or 15 minutes (WBM) or depending on
the time configured in the Agent Timeout Configuration menu. A manual logout is also
possible with the appropriate button in the user interface. Exiting the browser does does
not close the session. If the browser is started again within the timeout, the session
continues to be used.
Note
All the configuration changes are adopted in the flash memory after approximately 1 minute
or after a warm restart. You should therefore run the " R estart" command in the command
line interface or in Web Based Management before turning off the device. You can then be
certain that all the configuration changes have been saved.
Note
To use SNMP Management, RMON, and traps, you require a network management station.
This does not ship with IE switches.
