Configuring The Remote Console Switch; Setting Up The Built-In Web Server; Connecting To The Obwi Through A Firewall - Dell Remote Console Switch User Manual

Configuring the Remote Console Switch

Once all physical connections have been made, you will need to configure the
switch for use in the overall switch system. This can be accomplished in two
ways.
To configure the switch using Avocent management software, see the applicable
Avocent Installer/User Guide for detailed instructions.
To configure the switch using the local UI:
See "Network Settings" on page 55 for detailed instructions on using the local UI
to configure initial network setup.

Setting up the Built-in Web Server

You can access the switch using the embedded web server that handles most
day-to-day switch tasks. Before using the web server to access the switch, first
specify an IP address through the SETUP port on the back panel of the switch
or local UI. See Chapter 3 for detailed instructions on using the switch user
interface.

Connecting to the OBWI Through a Firewall

For switch installations that use the OBWI for access, the following ports must
be opened in a firewall if outside access is desired.
