Once your system is initially configured (and thus assigned an IP address), you may use a variety
of methods to remotely access and manage your system. This chapter describes many of these
methods.
For information on first-time access (either local or remote), refer to Accessing the CyberSWITCH .
The CyberSWITCH has various tools to manage the system remotely. You may combine several of
these tools to provide a complete, customized remote network management system. In this chapter
we will describe the tools, and explain several options to manage your system.
These tools are:
• SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
• Telnet
• WIN95 Dial-up Networking
• TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol)
• Carbon Copy
If the network is a bridged network, use the Carbon Copy utility for remote management. If the
network is an IP network, use a combination of the remaining remote management tools.
Examples of usage in an IP network:
•
SNMP can inform you of problems in the network as they occur.
• Telnet will allow you to issue console commands on a remote CyberSWITCH.
• TFTP can transfer report or statistics files from the CyberSWITCH, or new configuration files
to/from the system.
A brief description of each tool follows.
