The AT-8000 Series Fast Ethernet Switches come with the AT-S39
management software pre-installed. You use the software to manage
and configure the switch.
The management software comes with default values for all the
operating parameters for a switch. In some network environments, the
default settings might not need to be changed. If this is true for your
network, then you can use the switch as an unmanaged switch.
However, to manage the switch and change or monitor the operating
parameters, you must access the management software. Some of the
management functions that you can perform include assigning the
switch an IP address and subnet mask, creating VLANs and port trunks,
and activating and configuring the Spanning Tree Protocol parameters.
The management software's interface consists of menus and prompts
that make it easy for you to configure the switch and view performance
and status information. The management software also features a
command line interface for configuring the switch via command line
commands.
