6 Diagnosing switch indicators

In-band access

You can access the management agent in the switch from anywhere within the attached network using Telnet, a Web browser, or other network management software. However, you must first configure the switch with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. If you have trouble establishing a link to the management agent, check to see if you have a valid network connection. Then verify that you entered the correct IP address. Also, be sure the port through which you are connecting to the switch has not been disabled. If it has not been disabled, then check the network cabling that runs between your remote location and the switch.
