Nortel Networks 5500 series - Manual (Page 36)

36 Overview
the management side handles Nortel SNAS management traffic (traffic
connecting the Nortel SNAS to internal resources and configuring the
Nortel SNAS from a management station).
The Nortel SNAS supports what is known as an One armed configuration.
The following section describes this configuration type.
One armed configuration
In an one armed configuration, the Nortel SNAS has only one interface,
which acts as both the client portal interface and the management traffic
interface.
Figure 1 "One armed configuration" (page 36) illustrates a one-armed
configuration.

Nortel SNAS configuration and management tools
You can use a number of device and network management tools to
configure and manage the Nortel SNAS:
• Command Line Interface (CLI)
You must use the CLI to perform initial setup on the Nortel SNAS and
to set up the Secure Shell (SSH) connection between the Nortel SNAS
and the network access devices, and between the Nortel SNAS and
the GUI management tool. You can then continue to use the CLI to
configure and manage the Nortel SNAS, or you can use the GUI.
