Configuration/ Management

The IntraSwitch 5308FL can be managed through standard out- of-band sessions through the unit’s Console port, via in-band Telnet sessions, via any supported World Wide Web browser, or via any SNMP-based management software program (such as IntraSpection™ Web-based network management).

Console/Telnet Management

The SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used to manage the IntraSwitch 5308FL. 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 an out-of-band Console connection 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.
