In-Band Connections
Prior to accessing the switch’s embedded agent via a network connection, you
must first configure it with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway
using an out-of-band connection or the BOOTP protocol.
Note
: The switch will automatically issue BOOTP requests if the IP address is set to
“0.0.0.0”. BOOTP is disabled if a valid IP address has been set. See “IP & RIP
Settings” on page 2-25.
Telnet Connection
Prior to accessing the switch’s embedded agent via an in-band Telnet
connection, you must first configure the switch with a valid IP address, subnet
mask, and default gateway using an out-of-band connection or BOOTP protocol.
After configuring the switch’s IP parameters, you can access the on-board
configuration program from anywhere within the attached network.
Note
: The system only permits one Telnet session at a time.
In-Band Network Connection
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 3.0 or above, or Netscape
Navigator 3.0 or above), or from a network computer using network management
software such as AccView.
You can also make a remote network connection (via modems) to the switch’s
serial port using the SLIP protocol over TCP/IP. Using this kind of connection, the
system functions similar to a router, allowing you to manage the switch or other
attached devices using Telnet, a Web browser, or network management software
such as AccView.
Notes
: 1. Prior to accessing the switch via a SLIP connection, first configure it with a
valid SLIP IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. (Note that the
winsocket used by both Windows 95 and NT include the SLIP protocol.)
2. The on-board program only provides access to basic configuration
functions. To access the full range of SNMP mangement functions, you
must use SNMP-based network mangement software.
