MANAGED 8-PORT 10/100 + 2 G DUAL PERSONALITY SWITCH 1 Configuration 1.1 Overview of configuration options For advanced management capabilities, the onboard management agent provides CLI and menu-driven interface configuration programs. These programs can be accessed by a direct or modem connection to the console port on the front panel (out-of-band), or by a Telnet connection over the network (in-band). The management agent is based on SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). This SNMP agent permits the switch to be managed from any PC in the network by using in-band management software. The management agent also includes an embedded HTTP Web agent. This Web agent can be accessed using a standard Web browser from any computer attached to the network. The switch gives you the flexibility to access and manage it by using any or all of the methods described. The administration console and web browser interfaces are embedded in the Switch software and can be used immediately after setup. 1.2 External SNMP-based network management application Advantages • Communicates with Switch functions at the MIB level • Based on open standards The three methods for configuring the Switch management agent are explained in the following chapters. The first method - Command Line Interface (CLI) via the Console Port to initially set IP parameters. The second is Menu Driven configurations via Telnet. The third is the use of an Internet Browser Interface to configure the Switch. 4

Configuration
1.1
Overview of configuration options
For advanced management capabilities, the onboard management agent provides CLI
and menu-driven interface configuration programs. These programs can be accessed
by a direct or modem connection to the console port on the front panel (out-of-band), or
by a Telnet connection over the network (in-band).
The management agent is based on SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol).
This SNMP agent permits the switch to be managed from any PC in the network by
using in-band management software.
The management agent also includes an embedded HTTP Web agent. This Web agent
can be accessed using a standard Web browser from any computer attached to the
network.
The switch gives you the flexibility to access and manage it by using any or all of the
methods described. The administration console and web browser interfaces are
embedded in the Switch software and can be used immediately after setup.
1.2
External SNMP-based network management application
Advantages
•
Communicates with Switch functions at the MIB level
•
Based on open standards
The three methods for configuring the Switch management agent are explained in the
following chapters.
The first method – Command Line Interface (CLI) via the Console Port to initially set IP
parameters.
The second is Menu Driven configurations via Telnet.
The third is the use of an Internet Browser Interface to configure the Switch.
