Connecting to the Switch
Configuration Options
This switch includes a built-in network management agent. The
agent offers a variety of management options, including SNMP,
RMON and a Web-based interface. A PC may also be connected
directly to the switch for configuration and monitoring via a
command line interface (CLI).
Note: The IP address for this switch is unassigned by default. To
change this address, see “Setting an IP Address” on page
1-7.
The switch’s HTTP Web agent allows you to configure switch
parameters, monitor port connections, and display statistics using a
standard Web browser such as Netscape Navigator version 6.2 and
higher or Microsoft IE version 5.0 and higher. The switch’s Web
management interface can be accessed from any computer
attached to the network.
The switch’s management agent is based on SNMP (Simple
Network Management Protocol). This SNMP agent permits the
switch to be managed from any system in the network using the
appropriate management software.
The CLI program can be accessed by a direct connection to the
RS-232 serial console port on the switch, or remotely by a Telnet
connection over the network.
