Web Browser
Management
Yet another way to remotely manage a stack is with a web browser. A
special web browser interface, featuring both non-secure (HTTP) and
secure (HTTPS) operation, lets you monitor and configure many of the
switch’s features from a series of windows. The interface, however, may
only be used to configure a subset of the features. To configure those
features the web browser interface does not support, you have to use the
command line interface from another management method.
Here are the requirements for non-secure HTTP web browser
management:
Your management workstation must have a web browser.
The web browser server on the switch has to be activated. This is
the default setting in the default BOOT.CFG and QSTART.CFG
files.
The switch must have an IP address. You may use the factory
169.254.1.1 address assigned to the Default VLAN.
You need to assign your management workstation an IP address
in the 169.254.n.n subnet or your workstation must have access to
that subnet through routing devices.

SNMP Refer to the AT-8100 Series AlliedWare Plus Command Line Interface
User’s Guide for instructions on how to configure the stack for SNMP
management. The switch does not have any default SNMP community
strings.

Stack
The command line interface of the Local, Telnet, and SSH management
methods gives you the ability to configure all of the features and
parameters on the stack. Many of the commands feature the PORT
parameter, which you use to identify the individual networking ports on the
units in a stack. The parameter has the following format:

The first number is the switch’s stack ID number. The stack ID number for
a switch in a stack is displayed by the Stack ID LED.
