1. MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW

Configuration Options

For advanced management capability, the VH-SMGMT Vertical Horizon Management Module provides a menu-driven system configuration program. This program can be accessed by a direct or modem connection to the serial port on the Management Module (out-of-band), or by a Telnet connection over the network (in-band).

The Management Module is based on SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). This SNMP agent permits a switch stack to be managed from any PC in the network using in-band management software.

The Management Module also includes an embedded HTTP Web agent. This Web agent can be accessed using a standard Web browser from any computer attached to the network. Refer to the Web Management Guide for more information.

The system configuration program and the SNMP agent support management functions such as:

•Enable/disable any port

•Set the communication mode for any port

•Configure SNMP parameters

•Select RMON options

•Display system information or statistics

•Configure the switch to join a Spanning Tree

•Download system firmware

•Restart the system

Required Connections

Console Port (Out-of-Band) Connections

Attach a VT100 compatible terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program to the serial port on the Management Module. Use the null- modem cable provided with this package, or use a null-modem connection that is compatible with the console port pin assignments shown in Appendix A of the VH-2402S User Guide.
