NetStructure™ 480T Routing Switch User Guide
You can use Telnet, a Web browser, or an SNMP manager to
manage the switch remotely. There can be one console session, one
Web session or eight concurrent Telnet sessions.
Using the Console Interface
You can access the built-in CLI of the 480T routing switch through
the 9-pin RS-232 port located on the back of the switch.
After the connection is established, the switch prompt appears, so
you can log in.
Using the 10/100 UTP Management Port
The 480T routing switch has a dedicated 10/100 Mbps UTP
management port. This port provides dedicated remote access to the
switch using TCP/IP. It supports these management methods:
• Telnet using the CLI interface
• Intel Device View access using a Web browser
• SNMP access using SNMP manager
The management port is a DTE port, and is not capable of
supporting switching or routing functions. The TCP/IP
configuration for the management port is done using the same
syntax as used for VLAN configuration. The VLAN mgmt comes
pre-configured with only the 10/100 Mbps management port as a
member.
You can configure the IP address, subnet mask, and default router
for the VLAN mgmt, using these commands:
• configure vlan mgmt ipaddress <ip_address>/
<subnet_mask>
• configure iproute add default <gateway>
Using Telnet
Most workstations with a Telnet facility can communicate with the
480T routing switch over a TCP/IP network.
Up to eight active Telnet sessions can access the switch
concurrently. If
idletimeouts are enabled, the Telnet connection
will time out after 20 minutes of inactivity. If a connection to a
