Management
In-band network management allows you to manage, control,
and monitor the IntraSwitch and each of its ports over the
Ethernet network.
You can perform these functions by accessing the IntraSwitch
via the following two methods:
❏ By connecting with a terminal emulation pro-
gram such as Telnet
1
and using the Local Man-
agement Interface.
❏ By connecting with any SNMP-based network
management application and using its interface.
To manage the IntraStack via in-band management:
1 Make sure the network to which the IntraSwitch
is connected is up and running.
2 Make sure the IntraSwitch is configured with
valid IP information.
See “Setting up for Management” on page 2-10.
3 Connect to the IntraSwitch with a terminal emu-
lator or any SNMP-based network management
application.
Terminal Emulator
See Chapter 5, “Console Management,” for infor-
mation on managing the IntraSwitch with a ter-
minal emulator.
∆
Note: All management screens using a termi-
nal emulator are identical to those of the out-of-
band Console interface.
SNMP-based Management Software
Refer to the software’s User’s Manual for informa-
tion on managing the IntraSwitch with SNMP-
based management software.
1. Telnet is a common terminal emulation application used in TCP/IP net-
works for remote terminal access to network devices.
