Asante Technologies 5212 user manual Configuration/ Management, Console/Telnet Management

Introduction

Configuration/ Management

The IntraSwitch 5212 can be managed through standard out-of- band sessions through the Console port, via in-band Telnet sessions, via a supported World Wide Web browser, or via any SNMP-based management software program (such as IntraSpection™).

Console/Telnet Management

The SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used to manage the IntraSwitch 5212. The SNMP agent supports database objects that are defined in the following Management Information Bases (MIBs):

❏MIB II (RFC 1213)

❏Bridge MIB (RFC 1493)

❏RMON, 4 groups (RFC 1757)

The SNMP agent can be accessed via out-of-band Console connections or through in-band Telnet sessions. See Chapter 4, "Setting Up For Management" for information on connecting via one of these two methods.

See Appendix B, "Supported MIBs" for more information on the MIBs supported by the IntraSwitch.

Web Browser Management

The IntraSwitch 5212 has a built-in HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Server) which allows it to be managed via any supported World Wide Web browser.

See the Web Management Server Reference Guide for information on accessing and managing the IntraSwitch 5212 with a Web browser.

SNMP-Based Management

IntraSpection Web-based network management software, along with any other SNMP-based network management application, can be used to manage the IntraSwitch 5212. See "In-Band Management" on page 4-6 for more information.
