Network Management through a Serial I/O Connection
Each BayStack 303 and 304 switch can be managed using a PC or terminal
connected to the switch through the RS-232 console port located on the front of
the switch. The serial connection allows the network manager to view statistics
and change parameter settings using the built-in user interface.

“Connecting to the Console Port
Network Management Using a Telnet Connection
Telnet is a common terminal-emulation application used in TCP/IP networks for
remote terminal access to computer devices. You can use Telnet over an Ethernet
network to remotely configure and monitor the BayStack switches.
Once you have configured an IP address for the switch, access to its management
system is available from any networked resource using a standard Telnet
application.
To open a Telnet session, follow these steps:
1.
Check to make sure that Telnet is enabled.
a.
From the Main Menu, type 2 to display the System Configuration menu.
b.
From the System Configuration menu, type 1 to display the Switch
Network Configuration.
c.
Check 5---Telnet Access and verify that it is enabled (default setting for
this parameter is enabled). If this parameter is disabled, then no Telnet
access is allowed from any device.
2.
With Telnet Access enabled, invoke the Telnet application with the IP
address of the switch from any TCP/IP-based workstation.
This action displays the Telnet Password Verification screen.
3.
Enter the Telnet password to enable the Telnet session.
With Telnet enabled, the switch can support up to two Telnet users.
