In-Band Connections

Prior to accessing the Network Management Module via a network
connection, you must first configure it with a valid IP address,
subnet mask, and default gateway using an out-of-band
connection or the BOOTP protocol.
After configuring the switch's IP parameters, you can access the
on-board configuration program from anywhere within the
attached network. The on-board configuration program can be
accessed using Telnet from any computer attached to the network.
The switch and stack can also be managed by any computer using
