Bay Technical Associates 350 manual Network Configuration, Snmp MIB Support

Getting Started

SNMP MIB Support

The BayStack 350 switch supports an SNMP agent with private MIB extensions, which ensures compatibility with existing network management tools. The BayStack 350 switch supports MIB-II (RFC 1213) and the RMON MIB (RFC 1757), which provide access to detailed management statistics. With SNMP management, you can configure SNMP traps (on individual ports) to be generated automatically for conditions such as an unauthorized access attempt or changes in a port’s operating status.

Configuration and Switch Management

The BayStack 350 switch is shipped directly from the factory ready to operate in any 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX standard network. You can manage the switch using the Bay Networks Optivity® network management software or any generic SNMP-based network management software; however, you must assign an IP address to the switch. You can set the switch’s IP address by using the service port or BootP, which resides on the switch. For more information about using the service port to configure the switch manually, see Chapter 3, “Using the Console Interface.”

Network Configuration

You can connect the BayStack 350 switch to workstations and personal computers (PCs) either directly, using a hub, or by creating a VLAN. This section provides three network examples using the BayStack 350 switch in the following configurations:

•Desktop connections for power workgroups

•Desktop connections for power workgroups and shared media hub

•VLAN workgroups

Note: The BayStack 350T and 350F switches can be used interchangeably in the following network examples.
