Asante Technologies 3500 Series Console Interface, Web-Based Interface, Snmp Management

1.4.1 Console Interface

Users can access the switch in a more traditional way by connecting a PC or terminal to the console port or by telnet across the network. The menus are organized in a manner similar to the web-based interface. A detailed description can be found in Chapter 3 Configuration. Users must use a console connection to form a stack (multiple units sharing one IP address). The stacking feature is available on the IC3524 models, versions 1.1 or higher. See Chapter 2.11 Using the Stacking Feature for more details.

1.4.2 Web-Based Interface

With Internet access, users can link directly to the local switch’s home page. Users can configure the switch, monitor the LED panel, and display statistics graphically. A detailed description can be found in Chapter 5. Web-Based Interface.

1.4.3 SNMP Management

Since the switch supports SNMP, users can manage the switch with an SNMP-compatible management station running platforms such as HP OpenView. It also supports a comprehensive set of MIB extensions along with MIB II, Ethernet MIB, the 802.1D bridge MIB, and 4 groups of RMON. Please see Chapter 3, or Chapter 6. SNMP Management for more information.
