Configuration Options

For advanced management capability, the TigerSwitch 1000

management agent provides a menu-driven system configuration

program. This program can be accessed by a direct or modem

connection to the serial port on the front panel (out -of-band), or

by a Telnet connection over the network (in-band).

The management agent is based on SNMP (Simpl e Network

Management Protocol). This SNMP agent permits the switch to be

managed from any PC in the network using in-band management

software (such as SMC’s EliteView).

The management agent also includes an embed ded HTTP Web

agent. This Web agent can be accessed using a standard Web

browser from any computer atta ched to the network.

The system configuration program and the SNMP agent support

management functions such as:

•Enable/disable any port

•Set the communication mode for any port

•Configure SNMP parameters

•Configure VLANs or multicast filtering

•Display system information or statistics

•Configure the switch to join a Spanning Tree

•Download system firmware

•Restart the system
