Allied Telesis AT-S79 manual Remote Management Connection

Chapter 1: Overview

Remote Management Connection

The AT-S79 management software has a web browser interface that you can use to manage an AT-GS950/16 or AT-GS950/24 Smart Switch from any management station on your network that has a web browser application. This is referred to as a remote connection.

The switch must have an IP address in order for you to manage it remotely with a web browser. You can assign the switch an IP address manually or you can activate the DHCP client so that the switch automatically obtains its IP configuration from a DHCP server on the network. The initial assignment of an IP address on a switch must be made through a local connection to the unit.

For instructions on how to start a remote management session, refer to “Establishing a Remote Connection to Use the Web Browser Interface” on page 158.

Note

In order to remotely manage a switch using a web browser, the remote management station must be a member of the switch’s Default VLAN. The switch processes remote management packets only when they are received on an untagged port of the Default VLAN.

Note

The AT-S79 management software does not support remote management with the Telnet application protocol or an SNMP application program.
