Telnet Management Session
You can use any management station on your network that has the
Telnet application to manage an AT-9400 Series switch. This type of
management session is referred to in this guide as a remote
management session because you do not need to be in the wiring closet
where the switch is located. You can manage the switch from any
workstation on the network that has the application protocol.
To establish a Telnet management session with 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 94.
Note
For instructions on how to start a Telnet management session, refer
to ”Starting a Telnet Management Session” on page 44.
A Telnet management session provides access to nearly all of a switch’s
operating parameters. You can perform nearly all the same functions
from a Telnet management session as you can from a local management
session.
