2. Switch Management
To set up the Managed Switch, the user needs to configure the Managed Switch
for network management. The Managed Switch provides two management
options: Out-of-Band Management and In-Band Management.
Out-of-Band Management
Out-of-band management is the management through console interface.
Generally, the user will use out-of-band management for the initial
switch configuration, or when in-band management is not available.
In-Band Management
In-band management refers to the management by logging in to the Managed
Switch using Telnet or HTTP, or using SNMP management software to configure
the Managed Switch. In-band management enables the management of
the Managed Switch to attach some devices to the Switch. The following
procedures are required to enable in-band management:
1. Log on to console
2. Assign/Configure IP address
3. Create a remote login account
4. Enable HTTP or Telnet server on the Managed Switch
In case in-band management fails due to Managed Switch configuration
changes, out-of-band management can be used for configuring and managing
the Managed Switch.
The Managed Switch is shipped with VLAN1 interface IP
address 192.168.0.254/24 assigned by default. User can
assign another IP address to the Managed Switch via the
console interface to be able to remotely access the Managed
Switch through Telnet or HTTP.
