In-Band Management

In-band network management allows you to configure, manage, and monitor the IntraCore 8000 over the Ethernet network.

You can perform these functions by accessing the IntraCore 8000 via any of the following methods:

GBy connecting with a telnet program and using the Local Manage- ment Interface.

GBy connecting with any World Wide Web browser, and using the Web Management Interface.

GBy connecting with any SNMP-based network management appli- cation and using its interface.

To manage the IntraCore 8000 via in-band management, use the following procedure.

1 Make sure the network to which the IntraCore 8000 is connected is functioning.

2 Make sure the IntraCore 8000 is configured with valid IP information. See “Configuring for Management” earlier in this chapter.

3 Connect to the IntraCore 8000 via telnet, with a Web browser, or with any SNMP-based network management application.

Telnet

Use a network connection to any PC and enter the telnet command to access the IntraCore 8000. The password prompt of the Local Management Interface will appear. Go on to the “Local Management Interface” section in Chapter 3.
