Switch>

The user can now enter commands to manage the switch. For a detailed description for the commands,

please refer to the following chapters.

3.1.2 In-band Management

In-band management refers to the management by login to the switch using Telnet, or using HTTP, or using

SNMP management software to configure the switch. In-band management enables management of the

switch for some devices attached to the switch. In the case when in-band management fails due to switch

configuration changes, out-of-band management can be used for configuring and managing the switch.

3.1.2.1 Management via Telnet

To manage the switch with Telnet, the following conditions should be met:

1) Switch has an IPv4/IPv6 address configured;

2) The host IP address (Telnet client) and the switch’s VLAN interface IPv4/IPv6 address is in the same

network segment;

3) If 2) is not met, Telnet client can connect to an IPv4/IPv6 address of the switch via other devices,

such as a router.

The switch is Layer 3 switch that can be configured with several IPv4/IPv6 addresses. The following example

assumes the shipment status of the switch where only VLAN1 exists in the system. The following describes

the steps for a Telnet client to connect to the switch’s VLAN1 interface by Telnet (with IPv4 address example):
