AT-S63 Management Software
The AT-9400 Switch is managed with the AT-S63 Management Software.
The software comes preinstalled on the unit with default settings for all the
operating parameters of the switch. If the default settings are adequate for
your network, you can use the switch as an unmanaged unit.
Note
The default settings are listed in Appendix A, “AT-S63 Management
Software Default Settings” on page 463.
You can access the management software on the switch several different
ways. You can manage the switch locally (out-of-band) using the Terminal
Port on the front panel or over a network (in-band) using a Telnet or
Secure Shell client, or a web browser. For further information, refer to
“Management Access Methods” on page 43.
The management software has four management interfaces -- a menus
interface, a standard command line interface, an AlliedWare Plus
command line interface, and a web browser interface. You can use any of
the interfaces to perform basic configuration procedures. But some of the
newer and more complex features, such as Virtual Router Redundancy
Protocol (VRRP), must be configured with the standard command line
interface. For more information, refer to “Management Interfaces” on
page 37.
There are two current versions of the management software. Version 2.2.0
is for the Layer 2+ switches and Version 4.0.0 is for the Basic Layer 3
switches.
Note
Do not install version 4.0.0 on a Layer 2+ switch.
