Management methods
Management
The FBRM and BFFG Devices support the following management methods:
• USB CLI (Command Line Interface)
• Telnet
• MMU (Management Module Unit) chassis web-based
• IP-based (web-based directly to the Device)
USB
USB management requires a direct connection to the Device via a computer. This
method is used to set up initially or to troubleshoot Devices in the field.
Telnet
Telnet management requires that the Device be connected to a network. Then from
the CPU command line type Telnet and the Device IP address as shown as follows:
Telnet nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn (represents Device IP address).
MMU
The MMU (Management Module Unit) is the heart of the Point System chassis’
management capability. It has the ability to monitor and manage all its installed
Devices. The MMU communicates through the CLI presented at the serial port, or
through SNMP, Telnet CLI, and Web interface available via the Ethernet port.
IP-based (web-
based)
The switch provides complete management through IP via an SNMP interface, web-
browser, or Telnet. The Device provides an embedded web server for web-based
management. It also offers advanced management features and enables Device
management from anywhere on the network through a standard browser, such as
Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape.
