Initial Configuration
Connecting to the Switch
Configuration Options
This 24-Port Fast Ethernet PoE Switch switch includes a built-in network management agent. The agent offers
a variety of management options, including SNMP, RMON and a Web-based interface. A PC may also be
connected directly to the switch for configuration and monitoring via a command line interface (CLI).
The switch’s HTTP Web agent allows you to configure switch parameters, monitor port connections, and
display statistics graphically using a standard Web browser such as Netscape Navigator version 6.2 and higher
or Microsoft IE version 5.0 and higher. The switch’s Web management interface can be accessed from any
computer attached to the network.
The CLI program can be accessed by a direct connection to the RS-232 serial console port on the switch, or
remotely by a Telnet connection over the network.
The switch’s management agent is based on SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) versions 1, 2 and
3. This SNMP agent permits the switch to be managed from any system in the network using management
software.
The switch’s CLI configuration program, Web interface, and SNMP agent allow you to perform the following
management functions:
Set user names and passwords
Control port access through IEEE 802.1x security or static address filtering
