700 Series Managed Switch User's Guide for Software v2.1 Virtual Terminal Protocols A virtual terminal protocol is a software program, such as Telnet, that allows you to establish a management session from a Macintosh, a PC, or a UNIX workstation. Because Telnet runs over TCP/IP, you must have at least one IP address configured on a NETGEAR 700 Series Managed Switch before you can establish access to it with a virtual terminal protocol. Terminal emulation differs from a virtual terminal protocol in that you must connect a terminal or PC directly to the console port. Figure 2-1 shows a UNIX workstation connected to the system through a virtual terminal protocol (Telnet), and a terminal connecting directly to the console port through a null-modem cable. Figure 2-1: Administration Console Access SNMP Protocol SNMP is the standard management protocol for multi-vendor IP networks. SNMP supports transaction-based queries that allow the protocol to format messages and to transmit information between reporting devices and data-collection programs. SNMP runs on top of the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), offering a connectionless-mode service. SNMP Access With this access method, you can use an external SNMP-based application to manage your NETGEAR 700 Series Managed Switch. Figure 2-2 shows an example of this management method.
