Before accessing a hub using a Telnet connection, be sure you have already set the agent’s IP address via the on- board configuration program or boot protocol.
Before accessing a hub using in-band management software, be sure you have already set the agent’s IP address via the on-board configuration program or boot protocol.
Local In-Band Telnet Connection
Prior to accessing the hub 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 boot protocol. (Refer to Using the Fast EtherHub 3500 Configuration Program later in this chapter.) After configuring the hub’s IP parameters, you can Telnet into its on-boardmenu-driven configuration program from anywhere within the attached network.
Local In-Band Network Connection
If you want to use optional network management software (e.g., Accton’s AccView/Open) to configure the Fast EtherHub 3500 System, then first set up your Network Management Station (NMS). The in-band NMS is the personal computer used to run your network management software.
If proper network connections are available, you can access the on-board management agent from anywhere in the attached network. However, prior to accessing the Fast EtherHub-12mi via in-band management software, you must first configure the hub with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway using a direct connection or boot protocol.
Accton provides optional Windows-based network management software called AccView/Open. Any PC running the AccView/ Open program can serve as your in-band network management station. You may purchase this package through your Accton dealer. Also note that the AccView/Open Fast EtherHub 3500 Manager module can be easily integrated into most third-party management platforms.
