2-1-3. Configuring the Management Agent of GEP-0950
In the way of web, user is allowed to startup the switch management function.
Users can use any one of them to monitor and configure the switch.
2-1-3-1. Configuring Management Agent of GEP-0950 through Ethernet Port
There are two ways to configure and monitor the switch through the switch’s
Ethernet port. They are Web browser and SNMP manager. The user interface for
the last one is Management software dependent and does not cover here. We just
introduce the first type of management interface. Web-based UI for the switch is an
interface in a highly friendly way.
• Managing GEP-0950 through Ethernet Port
Before you communicate with the switch, you have to finish first the
configuration of the IP address or to know the IP address of the switch. Then follow
the procedures listed below.
1. Set up a physical path between the configured the switch and a PC
by a qualified UTP Cat. 5 cable with RJ-45 connector.
Note: If PC directly connects to the switch, you have to setup the
same subnet mask between them. But, subnet mask may be
different for the PC in the remote site.
2. Run web browser and follow the menu. Please refer to Chapter 4.
2-1-4. IP Address Assignment
For IP address configuration, there are three parameters needed to be filled
in. They are IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS.
IP address:
The address of the network device in the network is used for internetworking
communication. It is “classful” because it is split into predefined address classes or
categories.
Each class has its own network range between the network identifier and
host identifier in the 32 bits address. Each IP address comprises two parts: network
Default IP Setting:
IP = 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway = 192.168.1.254
