Setting Up For Management

In-Band Management

In-band network management allows you to manage, control, and monitor the IntraSwitch 5212 and each of its ports over the Ethernet network.

You can perform these functions by accessing the IntraSwitch via one of the following methods:

❏By connecting with a terminal emulation pro- gram such as Telnet1 and using the Local Man-

agement Interface.

❏By connecting with a World Wide Web browser and using the Web Management Interface.

❏By connecting with any SNMP-based network management application and using its interface.

To manage the IntraSwitch 5212 via in-band management:

1	Make sure the network to which the IntraSwitch
	5212 is connected is up and functioning.
2	Make sure the IntraSwitch 5212 is configured
	with valid IP information.
	See "Setting up for Management" on page 2-12.
3	Connect to the IntraSwitch 5212 with a terminal
	emulator or any SNMP-based network manage-

ment application.

Terminal Emulator

See Chapter 5, "Console Management" for infor- mation on managing the IntraSwitch 5212 with a terminal emulator.

ΔNote: All management screens using a termi- nal emulator are identical to those of the out- of-band Console interface.

1.Telnet is a common terminal emulation application used in TCP/IP net- works for remote terminal access to network devices.
