4. Chassis Switch Management
To setup the Chassis Switch, the user needs to configure the Chassis Switch for
network management. The Chassis Switch provides two management options: Out-
of-Band management and In-Band management.
n Out-of-Band Management
Out-of-band management is the management through Console interface.
Generally, the user will use out-of-band management for the initial Chassis
Switch configuration, or when in-band management is not available.
IMPORTANT!
The Chassis Switch is shipped without IP address assigned by
default. User must assign an IP address to the Chassis Switch
via the Console interface to be able to remote access the Chassis
Switch through Telnet or HTTP.
n In-Band Management
In-band management refers to the management by login to the Chassis Switch
using Telnet, HTTP, or using SNMP management software to configure the Chassis
Switch. In-band management enables management of the Chassis Switch for some
devices attached to the Chassis Switch. Following procedures are required to enable
In-band management:
1. Logon Console
2. Assign / Configure IP Address
3. Create a remote login account
4. Enable HTTP or Telnet server on the Chassis Switch
In the case when in-band management fails, due to Chassis Switch configuration
changes, out-of-band management can be used for configuring and managing the
Chassis Switch.
