This management method is often preferred because you can remain connected and monitor the system
during system reboots. Also, certain error messages are sent to the serial port, regardless of the
interface through which the associated action was initiated. A Macintosh or PC attachment can use any
terminal-emulation program for connecting to the terminal serial port. A workstation attachment under
UNIX can use an emulator such as TIP.
4.2.2
MODEM ACCESS
You can access the switch’s administration console from a PC or Macintosh using an external modem
attached to the console port. The switch management program provides
Console Port
screen,
accessible from the
Basic Management
screen that lets you configure parameters for modem access.
When you have configured the external modem from the administration console, the switch transmits
characters that you have entered as output on the modem port. The switch echoes characters that it
receives as input on the modem port to the current administration console session. The console appears
to be directly connected to the external modem.
4.3
WEB MANAGEMENT
The switch provides a browser interface that lets you configure and manage the switch remotely.
After you set up your IP address for the switch, you can access the switch’s web interface applications
directly in your web browser by entering the IP address of the switch. You can then use your web
browser to list and manage switch configuration parameters from one central location, just as if you
were directly connected to the switch’s console port.
4.4
SNMP-BASED NETWORK MANAGEMENT
You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the switch. This
management method requires the SNMP agent on the switch and the SNMP Network Management
Station to use the same community string. This management method, in fact, uses two community
strings: the get community string and the set community string. If the SNMP Network management
station only knows the set community string, it can read and write to the MIBs. However, if it only
knows the get community string, it can only read MIBs.
The default get and set community strings
for the switch are public.
