1-3In-Band Connections
Prior to accessing the Network Management Module via a network
connection, you must first configure it with a valid IP address, subnet
mask, and default gateway using an out-of-band connection or the
BOOTP protocol.
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 and stack can also be
managed by any computer using a Web browser (Internet Explorer 4.0, or
Netscape Navigator 4.0 or above), or from a network computer using
network management software such as EliteView.
Notes: 1. By default BOOTP is disabled. To enable BOOTP, see “IP
Configuration” on page 2-13.
2. Use the Network Configuration menu to specify the maximum
number of simultaneous Telnet sessions that are supported by
the system (up to four).
3. 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, such as SMC’s free EliteView software.
