The following table shows the factory defaults for
the Switch 3000 TX features.
Managing the Switch 3000 TX
The menu-driven interface built into the Switch
3000 TX is known as the VT100 interface. You can
access it using a VT100 terminal, or a PC using ter-
minal emulation software. You can connect the ter-
minal directly to the Switch or via a modem. You
can also access the VT100 interface remotely using
Telnet running over the TCP/IP protocol.
Remote management is also possible using a Net-
work Manager from 3Com’s Transcend
®
product
range. The management protocol is SNMP (Simple
Network Management Protocol) and any
SNMP-based management facility can manage the
unit if the Management Information Base (MIB) is
installed correctly in the management workstation.
The Switch 3000 TX supports SNMP over both IP
and IPX protocols.
