3.2.2 In-Band Connections
Prior to accessing the switch’ s on-board agent via a network connection, you must first configure it with
a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway (for Layer 2 mode) using an out-of-band
connection.
After configuring the switch’ s IP parameters, you can access the on-board configuration program from
anywhere within the attached network. The on-board configuration program can be accessed using
Telnet from any computer attached to the network. The switch can also be managed by any computer
using a Web browser (Internet Explorer 4.0 or above, or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or above), or from a
network computer using SNMP network management software.
Please note that:
• Each VLAN group can be assigned its own IP interface address. Therefore, if the port connected
to the management station has joined several VLANs, you can manage the switch via any of
these IP addresses.
• This switch supports four concurrent Telnet sessions.
• The on-board program only provides access to basic configuration functions. To access the full
range of SNMP management functions, you must use SNMP- based network management
software.
