Connecting to the Switch

Configuration Options

The TigerSwitch 10/100/1000 includes a built-in network
management agent. The agent offers a variety of management
options, including SNMP, RMON and a Web-based interface. A PC
may also be connected directly to the switch for configuration and
monitoring via a command line interface (CLI).
Note: The IP address for this switch is assigned via DHCP by
default. To change this address, see "Setting an IP Address"
on page 1-7.
The switch's HTTP Web agent allows you to configure switch
parameters, monitor port connections, and display statistics
graphically using a standard Web browser such as Netscape
Navigator version 6.2 and higher or Microsoft IE version 5.0 and
higher. The switch's Web management interface can be accessed
from any computer attached to the network.
The switch's management agent is based on SNMP (Simple
Network Management Protocol). This SNMP agent permits the
switch to be managed from any system in the network using
management software.
The CLI program can be accessed by a direct connection to the
RS-232 serial console port on the switch, or remotely by a Telnet
connection over the network.
