Remote Connections
Prior to accessing the switch’s onboard agent via a network connection,
you must first configure it with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway using a console connection, DHCP or BOOTP protocol.
The IP address for this switch is obtained via DHCP by default. To
manually configure this address or enable dynamic address assignment via
DHCP or BOOTP, see “Setting an IP Address” on page 2-6.
Note: You can manage the switch through the same IP address using any
of the 10 Gigabit data ports (Ports 1-8) or though the Fast
Ethernet management port (Port 9). The management port allows
you to build a separate network for management tasks. It acn also
provide faster management access when the data ports are heavily
loaded.
Note: This switch supports four concurrent Telnet/SSH sessions.
After configuring the switch’s IP parameters, you can access the onboard
configuration program from anywhere within the attached network. The
onboard 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 5.0 or above, or
Netscape Navigator 6.2 or above), or from a network computer using
SNMP network management software.
Note: The onboard 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.
