3Com 1000 Unit Defaults, Managing the Switch 1000

1-14 CHAPTER 1: GETTING STARTED

Unit Defaults

The following table shows the factory defaults for

the Switch 1000 features.

Managing the Switch 1000

The menu-driven interface built into the Switch

1000 is known as the VT100 interface. You can

access it using a VT100 terminal, or a PC using te r-

minal emulation software. You can connect the ter-

minal directly to the Switch or through a modem.

You can also access the VT100 interface remotely

using Telnet running over the TCP/IP protocol.

Remote management is also possible using a Net-

work Manager from 3Com’s Transcend® product

range. The management protocol is SNMP (Simple

Network Management Protocol) and any

SNMP-based management facility can manage the

unit if the Management Information Base (MIB) is

installed correctly in the management workstation.

The Switch 1000 supports SNMP over both IP and

IPX protocols.
