Configuring and
Managing the Switch
You don’t need to read this chapter or Chapter 3 unless you want to
change the Express 10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch’s default
configuration (see Appendix A for a list of defaults) or intend to
manage the switch. The switch is ready to go simply by plugging it in
and turning the power on.
However, if you need to change the default configuration or manage
the switch, there are two ways:
• Use SNMP-compliant management software such as Intel
LANDesk Network Manager (not included).
• Use the Express 10/100 Switch’s internal Console Manager either
by directly connecting a serial cable or through Telnet.
To use SNMP management software or Telnet to the switch, you must
first connect to the switch using a serial cable and use the Console
Manager to assign an IP address.
