In-Band Management

In-band network management allows you to manage, control, and monitor the IntraChassis 9000 over the Ethernet network.

You can perform these functions by accessing the IntraChassis 9000 via any of the following methods:

❑By connecting with a Telnet program and using the Local Manage- ment Interface.

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

❑By connecting with any SNMP-based network management applica- tion and using its interface.

To manage the IntraChassis 9000 via in-band management, use the following procedure.

1 Make sure the network to which the IntraChassis 9000 is connected is functioning.

2 Make sure the IntraChassis 9000 is configured with valid IP information.

See “Configuring for Management” earlier in this chapter.

3 Connect to the IntraChassis 9000 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 IntraChassis 9000. The Main Menu of the Management Interface will appear. Go on to the “Management Interface” section below.
