NTERFACE
Your 10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch supports a console management interface
that allows you to set up and control your Switch, either with an ordinary
terminal (or terminal emulator), or over the network using the TCP/IP
TELNET protocol. You can use this facility to perform many basic network
management functions. In addition, the console program will allow you to
set up the Switch for management using D-View, SNMP-View or another
SNMP-based network management system. This chapter describes how to
use the console interface to access the Switch, change its settings, and
monitor its operation.
Connecting to the Switch
You can use the console interface by connecting the Switch to a VT100-
compatible terminal or a computer running an ordinary terminal emulator
program (e.g., the terminal program included with the Windows operating
system) using an RS-232C serial cable. Your terminal parameters will need
to be set to:
♦
VT-100/ANSI compatible
♦
Arrow keys enabled
