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® Internet Explorer (version
5.0).
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.
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.
To use the console port, you need the following equipment:
•
A terminal or a computer with both a serial port and the ability to emulate a terminal.
•
A null modem or crossover RS-232 cable with a female DB-9 connector for the console port on the Switch.
