Chapter 3
Configuring the Switch
Introduction
The TE-100/S14 Switch is designed to operate in workgroup
organizations without the need of, or unable to justify for
comprehensive network management software. It is also designed
to operate within the SNMP network management environment.
This chapter describes the details of configuring the TE-100/S14
Switch to support both environments.
Out-of-Band Management is the vehicle to access the TE-100/S14
Switch through a locally connected management terminal to the
RS-232 serial port. Through this port, a user can set up, monitor,
or change the configuration of the Switch.
The Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) provides the capability for
1
the Switch to operate properly with other Bridges
in a SNMP
network supporting the STA. Using the STA, the network will
prevent network loop, and automatically establish and activate a
backup path in the event of a path failure.
The TE-100/S14 Switch is set up to operate in either an un-
managed or managed network environment. In a simple network
hierarchy, the Spanning Tree Algorithm may be turned off.
