Chapter 1 Introducing the MM-7201 In this example, the MS-7206 system is connected to three Gigabit Ethernet switches A, B, and C and one router D. • Switch A provides access to the servers in the data center. The MS-7206 system uses link aggregation (trunking) to create a high-speed connection with switch A. • Switches B and C are connected to users in different departments via wired or wireless networks. The MS-7206 system is connected to these switches using fiber. • Router D provides secure Internet access for the whole company. The MS-7206 system is connected to router D by a 10/100 Mbps copper connection. In this configuration, the MS-7206 system provides high switching capacity, high port density, and centralized management for the enterprise network. 1.2 Ways to Manage the MM-7201 Use any of the following methods to manage the MM-7201. • Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the MM7201 using a (supported) web browser. • Command Line Interface. Line commands are mostly used for troubleshooting by service engineers. See the CLI Reference Guide. • FTP. FTP is used for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore. See Chapter 39 on page 293. • SNMP. The device can be monitored by an SNMP manager. See Chapter 40 on page 301. 1.3 Good Habits for Managing the MM-7201 Do the following things regularly to make the MM-7201 more secure and to manage the MM-7201 more effectively. • Change the password. Use a password that's not easy to guess and that consists of different types of characters, such as numbers and letters. • Write down the password and put it in a safe place. • Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you forget your password, you will have to reset the MM-7201 to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the MM-7201. You could simply restore your last configuration. 26 MS-7206 User's Guide
