Remote Connections

Prior to accessing the switch’s onboard agent via a network connection, you must first configure it with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway using a console connection, DHCP or BOOTP protocol.

The IP address is assigned via DHCP by default. To manually configure this address, see “Setting an IP Address” on page 1-7.

Note: The switch supports four concurrent Telnet sessions.

After configuring the switch’s IP parameters, you can access the onboard configuration program from anywhere within the attached network.
