Connecting to the Switch
Configuration Options
The TigerSwitch 10/100 SMC6750L2 includes a built-in network
management agent. The agent offers a variety of management options,
including SNMP, RMON and a Web-based interface. A PC may also be
connected directly to the switch for configuration and monitoring via a
command line interface (CLI).
Note: The IP address for this switch is assigned via DHCP by default. To
change this address, see “Setting an IP Address” on page 1-6.
The switch’s HTTP Web agent allows you to configure switch parameters,
monitor port connections, and display statistics graphically using a
standard Web browser such as Netscape Navigator version 6.2 and higher
or Microsoft IE version 5.0 and higher. The switch’s Web management
interface can be accessed from any computer attached to the network.
The switch’s management agent is based on SNMP (Simple Network
Management Protocol). This SNMP agent permits the switch to be
managed from any system in the network using management software,
such as such as SMC’s free EliteView software.
The CLI program can be accessed by a direct connection to the RS-232
serial console port on the switch, or remotely by a Telnet connection over
the network.
