iv
For advanced management capability, the onboard management agent provides a menu-driven system configuration program. This program can be accessed by a direct connection to the serial port on the rear panel (out-of-band), or by a Telnet connection over the network (in-band).
The management agent is based on SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). This SNMP agent permits the switch to be managed from any PC in the network using in-band management software.
The management agent also includes an embedded HTTP Web agent. This Web agent can be accessed using a standard Web browser from any computer attached 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
•Add ports to network VLANs
•Display system information or statistics
•Configure the switch to join a Spanning Tree
•Download system firmware
Attach a VT100 compatible terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program to the serial port on the switch’s rear panel. Use the null-modem cable provided with this package, or use a null-modem connection that complies with the wiring assignments shown in Appendix B of this guide.
When attaching to a PC, set terminal emulation type to VT100, specify the port used by your PC (i.e., COM 1~4), and then set communications to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and 9600 bps (for initial configuration). Also be sure to set flow control to “none.” (Refer to “Configuring the Serial Port” on page 2-13 for a complete description of configuration options.)
Note: If the default settings for the management agent’s serial port have been modified and you are having difficulty making a console connection, you can display or modify the current settings using a Web browser as described under “Configuring the Serial Port” on page 3-5.
1-1
Switch Management
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 an out-of-band connection or the BOOTP protocol.
Note: By default BOOTP is disabled and the IP address is set to 192.168.10.1. See “IP Configuration” on page 2-10.
After configuring the switch’s IP parameters, you can access the onboard configuration program from anywhere within the attached network. The onboard 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 above, or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or above), or from a network computer using network management software.
Notes: 1. This switch supports four concurrent Telnet sessions.
2.The onboard 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.
1-2
Once a direct connection to the serial port or a Telnet connection is established, the log-in screen for the onboard configuration program appears as shown below.

Note: A banner message may be configured to appear before the Login screen. The banner message is a login security alert. (See “Configuring the Banner Message” on page 2-21.)
If this is your first time to log into the configuration program, then the default user names are “admin” and “guest,” with the password “switch.” The Administrator has Read/Write access to all configuration parameters and statistics, while the Guest has Read Only access to the management program.
You should define a new administrator password, record it and put it in a safe place. Select Console Login Configuration from the Management Setup Menu and enter a new password for the administrator. Note that passwords can consist of up to 11 alphanumeric characters and are not case sensitive.
Note: You are allowed three attempts to enter the correct password; on the third failed attempt the current connection is terminated.

|
|
|||
Interface Type |
Ethernet |
Indicates IP over Ethernet. |
|||
IP Address |
192.168.10.1 |
IP address of the switch you are managing when accessing it over |
|||
|
|
|
the network. The switch supports SNMP over UDP/IP transport |
||
|
|
|
protocol. In this environment, all systems on the Internet, such as |
||
|
|
|
network interconnection devices and any PC accessing the switch |
||
|
|
|
must have an IP address. |
||
|
|
|
Valid IP addresses consist of four decimal numbers, of 0 to 255, |
||
|
|
|
separated by periods. Anything outside of this format will not be |
||
|
|
|
accepted by the configuration program. |
||
Subnet Mask |
255.255.255.0 |
Subnet mask of the switch. This mask identifies the host address |
|||
|
|
|
bits used for routing to specific subnets. |
||
Default |
|
The gateway that the switch’s agent uses to pass data to the |
|||
Gateway |
|
management station. Note that the gateway must be defined if the |
|||
|
|
|
management station is located in a different IP segment. |
||
IP State |
USER-CONFIG |
Specifies whether IP functionality is enabled via manual |
|||
|
|
|
configuration, or set by Boot Protocol (BootP). Options include: |
USER-CONFIG -IP functionality is enabled based on the default or user specified IP configuration.
BOOTP-GET-IP - IP is enabled but will not function until a BootP reply has been received. BootP requests will be broadcast 10 times, once every second, in an effort to learn its IP address. If no response is received, the switch will use the default IP setting in NVRAM. (BootP values can include the IP address, default gateway, and subnet mask.)

You can access the on-board configuration program by attaching a VT100 compatible device to the switch’s serial port. (For more information on connecting to this port, see “Required Connections” on page 1-1.)

Console Interface
Use the SNMP Configuration screen to display and modify parameters for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The switch includes an SNMP agent which monitors the status of its hardware, as well as the traffic passing through its ports. A computer attached to the network, called a Network Management Station (NMS), can be used to access this information. Access rights to the switch are controlled by community strings. To communicate with the switch, the NMS must first submit a valid community string for authentication. The options for configuring community strings and related trap functions are described in the following sections.

Management Setup Menu
Use the Management Setup: Console Login Configuration to restrict management access based on specified user names and passwords, or to set the invalid password threshold and timeout. There are only two user types defined, ADMIN (Administrator) and GUEST, but you can set up to five different user names and passwords. Only Administrators have write access for parameters governing the switch. You should therefore assign a user name and password to the default Administrator as soon as possible, and store it in a safe place. (If for some reason your password is lost, or you cannot gain access to the system configuration program, contact Alcatel Technical Support for assistance.) The parameters shown on this screen are indicated in the following figure and table.
