Remote Connection
You can use any management station on your network that has the Telnet
application, an SNMP manager, or as web browser to manage an
AT-9000/24 Gigabit Ethernet switch. These are referred to as remote
connections.
In order for you to manage a switch using a remote connection, the switch
must have an IP address and subnet mask. To manually assign an IP
address, refer to “Configuring the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway
Address” on page 32. To configure the switch to obtain its IP configuration
from a DHCP server, refer to “Enabling and Disabling the DHCP Client” on
page 35. The initial assignment of an IP address must be made through a
local management session.
For instructions on how to start a remote management session to use the
web browser interface, refer to “Establishing a Remote Connection to Use
the Web Browser Interface” on page 200.
Using an SNMP
Network
Management
Application
You can use the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to run a
network management application such as AT-View to manage the switch
through a remote connection. A familiarity with how to use management
information base (MIB) objects is necessary for this type of management.
The AT-S84 management software supports the following MIBs:
SNMP MIB-II (RFC 1213)
Bridge MIB (RFC 1493)
Remote Network MIB (RFC 1757)
Allied Telesis managed switch MIB
You must download the Allied Telesis managed switch MIB (atiswitch.mib)
file from the Allied Telesis web site and compile the files with your SNMP
application. For compilation instructions, refer to your third-party
application’s documentation. Refer to Chapter 4, “SNMP” on page 59 for
information about how to configure SNMP on the switch.
