REMOTE MANAGEMENT

OVERVIEW

Once your system is initially configured (and thus assigned an IP address), you may use a variety of methods to remotely access and manage your system. This chapter describes many of these methods.

For information on first-time access (either local or remote), refer to Accessing the CyberSWITCH.

The CyberSWITCH has various tools to manage the system remotely. You may combine several of these tools to provide a complete, customized remote network management system. In this chapter we will describe the tools, and explain several options to manage your system.

These tools are:

•SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)

•Telnet

•TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol)

This chapter also describes a method of remotely configuring an CyberSWITCH through another CyberSWITCH, using the default configuration and a preconfigured USER2.
