CONFIGURATION AND MANAGEMENT
Configuration Options
Basic port communication modes can be configured manually through the use of the front-panel Configure button. For more advanced management capability, the TigerSwitch 100 provides a menu-driven System Configuration Program which can be accessed through the Console Interface (out-of-band) or by a Telnet connection (in-band) over the network.
The TigerSwitch 100 also comes with an on-board management software module based on SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). This SNMP agent permits the switch to be managed from any PC in the network using optional in-band management software (i.e., SMC’s EliteView).
The System Configuration Program and the SNMP agent support management functions such as:
•Enabling/Disabling of any port
•Communication Mode Configuration (Full-,Half-duplex or Auto-Negotiation)
•Switching Mode Configuration (adaptive cut-through, cut- through, fragment-free or store-and-forward)
•SNMP Parameter Configuration
•Virtual LAN (VLAN) Port Grouping Configuration
•Enabling/Disabling and Configuration of the Spanning Tree Algorithm
•System Restart
