In-Band Management - Planet XGS3-42000R User Manual

3.1.2 In-band Management

In-band management refers to the management by login to the Chassis Switch using Telnet, or using HTTP,
or using SNMP management software to configure the Chassis Switch. In-band management enables
management of the Chassis Switch for some devices attached to the Chassis Switch. In the case when
in-band management fails due to Chassis Switch configuration changes, out-of-band management can be
used for configuring and managing the Chassis Switch.
3.1.2.1 Management via Telnet
To manage the Chassis Switch with Telnet, the following conditions should be met:
1) Chassis Switch has an IP v4/IP v6 address configured;
2) The host IP address (Telnet client ) and the Chassis Switch's VLAN interface IP v4/IP v6 address is in
the same net work segment;
3) If 2) is not met, Telnet client can connect to an IP v4/IP v6 address of the Chassis Switch via other
devic es, such as a router.
The Chasssis Switch is Layer 3 Chassis Switch that can be configured with several IP v4/ IP v6 addresses. The
following example assumes the shipment status of the Chassis Switch where only VLAN1 exists in the system.
The following describes the steps for a Telnet client to connect to the Chassis Switch's VLAN1 interface by
Telnet (with IP v4 address example):
Step 1: Configure the IP addresses for the Chassis Switch and start the Telnet Server function on the Chassis
Switch.
First is the configuration of host IP address. This should be within the same net work segment as the Chassis
Switch VLAN1 interface IP address. Suppose the switch VLA N1 interface IP address is 10.1.128.251/24.
Then, a possible host IP address is 10.1.128.252/24. Run "ping 10.1.128.251" from the host and verify the
result, check for reasons if ping failed.
