Methods of
Managing the
Switch 9100
You can manage the switch using the following methods:
Access the CLI by connecting a terminal (or workstation with
terminal-emulation software) to the console port.
Access the CLI over a TCP/IP network using a Telnet connection.
Access the Web interface over a TCP/IP network, using a standard
Web browser (such as Netscape Navigator 3.0 or greater, or Microsoft
Internet Explorer 3.0 or greater).
Use an SNMP Network Manager over a network running the IP
protocol.
The switch can support multiple user sessions concurrently, as follows:
One console session
Eight Telnet sessions
One Web session
Using the Console
Interface
The CLI built into the switch is accessible by way of the 9-pin, RS-232 port
labelled
console
, located on the back of the Switch 9100.
For more information on the console port pinouts, refer to Chapter 2.
Once the connection is established, you will see the switch prompt and
you may log in.
Using Access
Profiles
Access profiles are used by several switch features as a way to restrict
access. An access profile is a named list of IP addresses and subnet masks.
To use access profiles, you must first define the list, and then apply the
named list to the desired application.
