Agent Management
In this page, user can add or delete managed network devices here. If user disables the IP agent
function, that is,he/shesets the agent mode to "slave" in the IP setting section; this item will not show
up in the main menu.
There is a list here to display the information of managed hosts, including the IPs and the host names.
There are up to 32 sets of network devices to be clients of the IP agent switch.
Agent Control Port: The control port defines the specific TCP/UDP port the single IP switch is
listening, which the agent manager sends its command to. Agent manager use this specific port to tell
single IP switch to change the current forwarding target host. The range of available port number is
28000 ~ 30000. The default port number is 28019.
Delete: To remove hosts, select the hosts to be deleted from the list and press delete to remove them.
Launch Agent Manager: This button launches the agent manager.
Note:
For the cause of http authentication mechanism, it happens that web browser keeps asking
administrator to input login name and password when agent manager changes a new host. Typically
web browser will keep the authentication key of the successful login host and passes it to next other
WebPages. Since single IP switch remains its URL of the master switch IP no matter what the agent
manager has change the forwarding host, new host will still receive the same authentication key as the
master switch when it requests the login authentication. If the new host has the different username and
password from the master switch, authentication failure and reentry thus happens.
It is strongly recommended that the administrator change the usernames and passwords of the
managed hosts to the same ones as master switch.
