Diagnostic (Console) Port (Rs-232 Dce) - D-Link DES-3250TG User Manual

DES-3250TG Layer 2 Fast Ethernet Switch User's Guide
Local console management uses the terminal connection to
operate the console program built-in to the switch. A network
administrator can manage, control, and monitor the switch
from the console program.
The DES-3250TG contains a CPU, memory for data storage,
flash memory for configuration data, operational programs, and
SNMP agent firmware. These components allow the switch to
be actively managed and monitored from either the console
port or the network itself (out-of-band, or in-band).

Diagnostic (console) port (RS-232 DCE)

Out-of-band management requires connecting a terminal, such
as a VT-100 or a PC running a terminal emulation program
(such as HyperTerminal, which is automatically installed with
Microsoft Windows) a to the RS-232 DCE console port of the
Switch. Switch management using the RS-232 DCE console
port is called Local Console Management to differentiate it from
management performed via management platforms, such as D-
View or HP OpenView. Web-based Management describes
management of the switch performed over the network (in-
band) using the switch's built-in Web-based management
program. The operations to be performed and the facilities
provided by these two built-in programs are identical.
