Configuration and Management Interfaces
The switch can be managed using any of the following three methods:
n Serial console, out-of-band
An RS-232 connection, using a DB-9 connector with null modem cable, is
supported for out-of-band switch management. Serial console management
is performed using a terminal, or computer system running
communications software. See Chapter 3, “User Interface”, for more
detailed information on managing the switch via the serial console.
n Telnet, in-band (over Ethernet)
The switch supports management through a Telnet connection using the
TCP/IP protocols. Telnet is performed using an ASCII terminal or
computer system running communications software. See Chapter 3, “User
Interface”, for more detailed information on managing the switch via the
serial console. Global password protection for changing the operating
parameters of the switch is provided.
n SNMP-based network manager, in-band
The switch can be managed using SNMP, the most common protocol used
today for network management. Standard agent MIBs embedded in the
switch provide basic SNMP management through industry-standard SNMP
applications.
Management security protection is provided based on SNMP community
names. See Chapter 5, “SNMP Management”, for more information.
