Remote Connection
You can use any management station on your network that has the Telnet
application to manage an AT-9400 Series switch. This is referred to as a
remote connection.
To establish a remote connection to a switch, there must be at least one
enhanced stacking switch in the subnet to which you assigned an IP
address. Only one switch in a subnet needs to have an IP address. After
you have established a Telnet management session with the switch that
has an IP address, you can use the enhanced stacking feature of the
management software to access all other switches that support enhanced
stacking that reside in the same subnet.
Note
For further information on enhanced stacking, refer to “Enhanced
Stacking Overview” on page 90.
Note
For instructions on how to start a remote management session, refer
to “Starting a Remote Management Session” on page 41.
A remote connection allows you to use any of the AT-S63 management
software user interfaces—CLI, menus, and web browser—as well as a
third-party network management application to manage the switch.
Using an SNMP
Network
Management
Application
You can use the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to run a
network management application such as AT-View to manage the switch
through t. A familiarity with how to use management information base
(MIB) objects is necessary for this type of management.
The AT-S63 software supports the following MIBs:
ˆ SNMP MIB-II (RFC 1213)
ˆ Bridge MIB (RFC 1493)
ˆ Interface Group MIB (RFC 1573)
ˆ Ethernet MIB (RFC 1643)
ˆ Remote Network MIB (RFC 1757)
ˆ Allied Telesyn managed switch MIBs
You must download the Allied Telesyn managed switch MIBs
(atistackinfo.mib and atiswitch.mib) file from the Allied Telesyn web site
and compile the files with your SNMP application. For instructions, refer to
your third-party application’s documentation.
