Chapter 1: Managing the Switch
Configuration Options
The CheetahSwitch Workgroup-4508 provides a menu-driven system
configuration program that can be accessed through a direct console connection
or modem connection to the serial port on the switch’s rear panel (out-of-band),
or by a Telnet connection over the network (in-band).
The switch also includes an embedded HTTP Web agent. This Web agent can
be accessed using a standard Web browser from any computer attached to the
network.
The switch’s management agent is based on SNMP (Simple Network
Management Protocol). This SNMP agent allows the switch to be managed from
any PC on the network using in-band management software, such as Accton’s
AccView/Open.
Once you have connected a terminal or PC to the serial port on the switch, you
can perform the following tasks:
• Enable/disable any port
• Set the communication mode for any port
• Configure SNMP parameters
• Configure the switch to join a Spanning Tree
• Add ports to VLAN groups
• Mirror data from a target port to an analysis port
• Display system information or statistics
• Download system firmware
• Restart the system
