Management Interfaces and Features
The AT-S63 Management Software has three management interfaces:
ˆ Menus interface
ˆ Command line interface
ˆ Web browser interface
You can use the menus and command line interfaces from a local
management session through the Terminal Port on the switch or remotely
with a Telnet or Secure Shell client. The web browser interface is used
from remote HTTP and HTTPS sessions using a web browser.
You can configure all the features and parameters of the switch from the
command line interface. However, the menus interface and the web
browser interface are limited in the number of functions that you can
perform. For example, you can configure the basic port settings (e.g.,
speed and duplex mode) for any interface, but VRRP can only be
configured using the command line interface.
Table 2 lists the functions supported by the three management interfaces.
Note
A stack of AT-9400 Basic Layer 3 Switches and the AT-StackXG
Stacking Module must be configured from the command line
interface.
