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 445.
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 45.
The management software has three management interfaces -- a menus
interface, a 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 command line
interface. For more information, refer to “Management Interfaces for
Stand-alone Switches” on page 37.
There are two current versions of the management software, Version 2.2.0
and Version 3.2.0. Version 2.2.0 is for the Layer 2+ switches:
ˆ AT-9408LC/SP
ˆ AT-9424T/GB
