3.2.2 In-Band Connections
Prior to accessing the switch’ s on-board agent via a network connection, you must first configure it with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway (for Layer 2 mode) using an out-of-band connection.
After configuring the switch’ s IP parameters, you can access the on-board configuration program from anywhere within the attached network. The on-board configuration program can be accessed using Telnet from any computer attached to the network. The switch can also be managed by any computer using a Web browser (Internet Explorer 4.0 or above, or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or above), or from a network computer using SNMP network management software.
Please note that:
•Each VLAN group can be assigned its own IP interface address. Therefore, if the port connected to the management station has joined several VLANs, you can manage the switch via any of these IP addresses.
•This switch supports four concurrent Telnet sessions.
•The on-board program only provides access to basic configuration functions. To access the full range of SNMP management functions, you must use SNMP- based network management software.
