3. SWITCH MANAGEMENT

This chapter describes how to manage the Switch. Topics include:

-Overview

-Management methods

-Assigning an IP address to the Switch

-Logging on to the Switch

3.1 Overview

The Switch provides a user-friendly, menu driven console interface. Using this interface, you can perform various switch configuration and management activities, including:

-Assigning an IP address

-Configuring Switch settings

-Display console port information

-Configuring each port status

-Configuring Port Trunking

-Setting up packet filters

-Setting up VLAN policy

-Configuring STP and port sniffer

-Configuring SNMP parameters

-TFTP Upgrading software

-Backup Switch configuration

Please refer to the following or Chapter 4 and 5 for the details.

3.2 Management Methods

There are three ways to manage the Switch:

-Local Console Management via the Switch serial port.

-Remote Console Management via a network or dial-up connection.

-Web Management via a network or dial-up connection.

-Using an SNMP Network Management Station.

3.2.1 Local Console Management

You can manage the Switch locally by connecting a VT100 terminal, or a personal computer or workstation with terminal emulation software, to the Switch serial port. The terminal or workstation connects to the Switch serial port using a null modem cable that has the appropriate connectors on each end.

This management method is ideal when:

-The network is unreliable

-The Network Manager does not have direct network connection

-A Network Manager does not support SNMP

The serial port of the Switch default setting is set to 9600 baud using a character format of 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.

Therefore, configure the terminal or workstation to use these settings before you log on to the Switch. You can change this default setting, if desired, after you log on.
