Management Options
This system may be managed out-of-band through the console port on the front panel or in-
band using Telnet. The user may also choose the Web-based management, accessible through
a Web browser.
Web-based Management Interface
After you have successfully installed the Switch, you can configure the Switch, monitor the
LED panel, and display statistics graphically using a Web browser, such as Netscape
Navigator (version 6.2 and higher) or Microsoft
SNMP-Based Management
You can manage the Switch with an SNMP-compatible console program. The Switch supports
SNMP version 1.0, version 2.0, and version 3.0. The SNMP agent decodes the incoming
SNMP messages and responds to requests with MIB objects stored in the database. The
SNMP agent updates the MIB objects to generate statistics and counters.
Command Line Console Interface Through the Serial Port
You can also connect a computer or terminal to the serial console port to access the Switch.
The command-line-driven interface provides complete access to all Switch management
features.
Connecting the Console Port (RS-232 DCE)
The Switch provides an RS-232 serial port that enables a connection to a computer or terminal
for monitoring and configuring the Switch. This port is a female DB-9 connector,
implemented as a data terminal equipment (DTE) connection.
