Management Guide

Telnet Connection

Prior to accessing the switch via an in-band Telnet connection, you must first configure it 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: Up to four Telnet sessions are supported.

In-Band Network Connection

The on-board configuration program can be accessed using Telnet or a Web browser (Internet Explorer 4.0 or above, or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or above) from any computer attached to the network. It can also be managed from a network computer using management software such as AccView.

Notes: 1. Prior to accessing the switch via a direct network connection, first configure it with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway using an out-of-band connection or BOOTP protocol.

2.The on-board 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. Accton provides a Windows-based SNMP software package called AccView/Open. If you require this software, please contact your Accton distributor. Also note that AccView’s CheetahSwitch Manager module can be easily integrated into most third-party management platforms.
