Configuration/
Management
The IntraSwitch 5308FL can be managed through standard out-
of-band sessions through the unit’s Console port, via in-band
Telnet sessions, via any supported World Wide Web browser, or
via any SNMP-based management software program (such as
IntraSpection™ Web-based network management).
Console/Telnet Management
The SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used to
manage the IntraSwitch 5308FL. The SNMP agent supports
database objects that are defined in the following Management
Information Bases (MIBs):
❏
MIB II (RFC 1213)
❏
Bridge MIB (RFC 1493)
❏
RMON, 4 groups (RFC 1757)
The SNMP agent can be accessed via an out-of-band Console
connection or through in-band Telnet sessions. See Chapter 4,
“Setting Up For Management,” for information on connecting
via one of these two methods.
See Appendix B, “Supported MIBs” for more information on the
MIBs supported by the IntraSwitch.
Web Browser Management
The IntraSwitch 5308FL has an HTTP server which allows it to
be management via any supported World Wide Web browser.
See the “Manual Addendum: Web Browser Management”
included in this package for information on accessing and
managing the IntraSwitch 5308FL with a Web browser.
SNMP-Based Management
Any SNMP-based network management application, such as
IntraSpection™ Web-based network management software, can
be used to manage the IntraSwitch 5308FL. See “In-Band
Management” on page 4-7 for more information.
