Configuration/
Management
The IntraSwitch 5212 can be managed through standard out-of-
band sessions through the Console port, via in-band Telnet
sessions, via a supported World Wide Web browser, or via any
SNMP-based management software program (such as
IntraSpection™).
Console/Telnet Management
The SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used to
manage the IntraSwitch 5212. The SNMP agent supports
database objects that are defined in the following Management
Information Bases (MIBs):
MIB II (RFC 1213)
Bridge MIB (RFC 1493)
RMON, 4 groups (RFC 1757)
The SNMP agent can be accessed via out-of-band Console
connections or through in-band Telnet sessions. See Chapter 4,
"Setting Up For Management" for information on connecting via
one of these two methods.
See Appendix B, "Supported MIBs" for more information on the
MIBs supported by the IntraSwitch.
Web Browser Management
The IntraSwitch 5212 has a built-in HTTP (Hypertext Transfer
Protocol Server) which allows it to be managed via any
supported World Wide Web browser.
See the Web Management Server Reference Guide for
information on accessing and managing the IntraSwitch 5212
with a Web browser.
SNMP-Based Management
IntraSpection Web-based network management software, along
with any other SNMP-based network management application,
can be used to manage the IntraSwitch 5212. See "In-Band
Management" on page 4-6 for more information.
