METHODS OF MANAGING THE SUMMIT

You can manage the Summit using the following methods:

•Access the command-line interface by connecting a terminal (or workstation with terminal-emulation software) to the Summit console port.

•Access the command-line interface over a TCP/IP network using a Telnet connection.

•Access the Web interface over a TCP/IP network, using a standard Web browser (such as Netscape Navigator™ 3.0 or greater, or Microsoft Internet Explorer™ 3.0 or greater).

•Use an SNMP Network Manager over a network running the IP protocol.

The switch can support up to seven user sessions concurrently (for example, one console port, one Web session, and five Telnet connections).

USING THE CONSOLE INTERFACE

The command-line interface built into the switch is accessible by way of the 9-pin, RS-232 console port located on the rear of the unit.

For more information on the console port pin-outs, refer to Chapter 2.

Once the connection is established, you will see the system prompt and you may log in.
