This chapter describes how to set up the switch for local or remote
management, and the VLAN Local Management screens used to create
and configure VLANs in a MultiSwitch 700.
3.1
MANAGING THE SWITCH
The switch may be managed locally via a terminal connected to the COM
port, or remotely (SNMP or Telnet sessions) from a management station
connected to a switch port that is a member of the same VLAN as the
switch's Host Data Port. (By default, this is the default VLAN.) When the
switch is configured with VLANs, special precautions must be taken to
use remote management.
3.1.1
Switch Without VLANs
When the switch is powered up, the switch uses its default settings to
switch frames like an 802.1D switch. In this default configuration any
switch port can be used to remotely manage the device as shown in
Figure 3-1.
Any station may be used as the management station.
