Managing the DES-5024
This chapter shows the menus used to manage the DES-5024.
Three types of management are available on the DES-5024:
∙Local Console Management (out-of-band)
∙Telnet Management (in-band)
∙D-View/ SNMP Management
The DES-5024 can be managed in-band or out-of-band. In-band management refers to managing the DES-5024 through one of the MDI-X ports.
Out-of-band management means going through the RS-232 port.
The interface and options are the same with Local Console and Telnet Management. The difference is the type of connection and the port that is used to manage the DES-5024.
D-View is a proprietary SNMP management program. D-View is provided with the DES- 5024. The DES-5024 supports other SNMP management applications and uses standard MIB. Refer to appropriate documentation for installing and using other SNMP application programs. The look and feel of D-View is different from other management types. Refer to other documentation if you are using other vendors’ SNMP applications.
All instructions given in this chapter assume that you are logged into the DES-5024 and are at the appropriate panel for carrying them out.
