SWITCH MANAGEMENT
In-Band Connections
Prior to accessing the switch 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 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.
