Management Options
The TigerSwitch 100 units may be managed using any one of
the following three methods:
♦ Out-of-band via the RS-232 console port
♦ In-band via Telnet
♦ In-band via any SNMP-based network management program
that includes a compiler
Serial Console Port
The switches may be managed out-of-band using a PC
connected to the console port with an RS-232 full-handshaking
null modem cable. The console port operates at 9600 baud
(default value) or 19,200 baud and can be password-protected.
A terminal application for use on the PC, such as Windows
Terminal, is also required. See Chapter 4, “Configuration and
Management,” for further information regarding out-of-band
management.
Telnet
The switches can also be managed in-band via a Telnet connec-
tion using TCP/IP protocol. The Telnet user interface is menu-
driven and the switch’s operating parameters can be password-
protected. See Chapter 4, “Configuration and Management,” for
further information regarding in-band management.
SNMP
Another method by which these switches may be managed is
in-band from a workstation via an SNMP-based manager (i.e.,
SMC’s EliteView). Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) is the most popular management protocol in use today.
It defines the structure of information maintained on a device
being managed and the operations used to access that
information. See Chapter 5, “SNMP Management,” for further
information regarding in-band SNMP.
