Out-of-Band
Management
Out-of-band network management allows you to configure,
manage, and monitor the IntraSwitch and each of its ports. You
can perform these functions via the following method:
❏ By attaching a terminal (or a terminal emulator)
to the IntraSwitch’s Console port and using the
menu-driven Local Management Interface.
Out-of-band network management is guaranteed even when the
in-band Ethernet network is down.
To access the IntraSwitch’s Local Management Interface using
out-of-band management:
1
Connect a stand-alone terminal or a PC running
a terminal emulator directly to the IntraSwitch’s
Console port using a straight-thr ough RS-232
serial cable with a male connector.

❏ Bits Per Second: 9600
❏ Data Bits: 8
