24 Port Stackable Managed Switch – User Guide Page 5
The 24 Port Stackable Managed Switch supports the following management methods:
• Console and Telnet Management
• Web-based Management
• SNMP Network Management
Console and Telnet Management
Console Management is performed through the RS-232 Console Port. Managing the 24
Stackable Managed Switch using this method requires a direct connection between a PC and
the 24 Port Stackable Managed Switch. Telnet allows remote management of the Switch
across the network. Once the 24 Port Stackable Managed Switch is on the network with an
assigned IP address, it is possible to use Telnet to log in and change the configuration.
Web Based Management
The Switch can be managed using a standard web browser that supports Java applets. This
interface has the same functionality as the console/Telnet interfaces but is more user-friendly.
See page 42 for details.
SNMP Network Management
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) provides a means to monitor and control the
Switch. Agents, which reside in the Switch, respond to requests from the NMS (Network
Management Station). The agent returns information contained in a MIB (Management
Information Base), which is a data structure that defines what is obtainable from the Switch
and what can be controlled.
