software to monitor the traffic on that subnet for the remote management
packets.
If the switch is an isolated unit or the master switch of an enhanced stack,
you must create at least one interface on the device. You create the
interface on the local subnet and VLAN through which your management
workstation is reaching the device. Furthermore, you must designate the
interface as the local interface. To start a remote management session,
you specify the IP address of the local interface as the switch’s IP
address.
The slave switches of a stack are handled differently. They do not need
any interfaces nor a local interface to be a part of an enhanced stack.
What is required is that the master and slave switches be interconnected
by a common VLAN and that the VLAN be part of the local interface on the
master switch.
Here is an overview of the required steps to configuring an isolated
AT-9400 Series switch for remote management:
1. Create a routing interface on the local subnet and VLAN from where
your remote management station reaches the switch.
2. Designate the interface as the local interface so the switch monitors
the subnet for the management packets.
3. To start a remote management session using a Telnet client, a web
browser, or an SNMP program, specify the IP address of the switch’s
local interface.
Here is an overview of the steps to configuring an AT-9400 Series master
switch of an enhanced stack for remote management:
1. Create a routing interface on the local subnet and VLAN that
interconnects the switches and from where your remote management
station is reaching the master switch.
2. Designate the interface as the local interface so the master switch
monitors the subnet for the management packets.
3. To start a remote management session on the enhanced stack using a
Telnet client, a web browser, or an SNMP program, specify the IP
address of the local interface on the master switch.
Here is an overview of the steps for a slave switch of an enhanced stack:
1. Connect the slave switch to the master switch using a common VLAN
and subnet. (A slave switch does not need a routing interface on the
common VLAN to support remote management of the device when
part of an enhanced stack.)
