Section I

Overview

The chapter in this section provides a brief overview of the AT-S39 management software. It explains some of the functions that you can perform with the management software and reviews different methods for accessing the AT-S39 software on an AT-8000 Series Fast Ethernet Switch.

19

Chapter 1

Overview

The AT-S39 management software is intended for the AT-8000 Series Fast Ethernet Switches. The software is used to monitor and adjust a switch’s operating parameters. Some of the functions you can perform with the software include:

Enable and disable ports

Configure port parameters, such as port speed and duplex mode

Create virtual LANs (VLANs)

Create port trunks and port mirrors

Assign an Internet Protocol (IP) address and subnet mask

Activate and configure a spanning tree protocol

Activate enhanced stacking functions

Configure Class of Service (COS)

Enable and configure IGMP snooping

Enable and configure broadcast storm control

Download and upload image and configuration files

Configure port security

Enable port access control

The AT-S39 management software comes pre-installed on the switch with default settings for all operating parameters. If the default settings are adequate for your network, you can use the switch as an unmanaged switch simply by connecting the unit to your network, as explained in the hardware installation guide, and powering ON the device.

20

AT-S39 User’s Guide

Note

The default settings for the management software can be found in Appendix A, AT-S39 Default Settings on page 331.

To actively manage a switch, such as to change or adjust the operating parameters, you must access the switch’s AT-S39 management software. The AT-S39 software features a menu interface and a command line interface that make it very easy to use, and a special interface for managing a switch with a web browser.

There are four different ways to access the management software on an AT-8000 Series switch. In this guide, these methods are referred to as management sessions. They are:

Local Management Session

Telnet Management Session

Web Browser Management Session

SNMP Management Session

The following sections in this chapter briefly describe each type of management session.

21

Section I: Overview

Local Management Session

You establish a local management session with an AT-8000 Series switch by connecting a terminal or a PC with a terminal emulator program to the RS232 Terminal port on the front panel of the switch, using a straight-through RS-232 cable. This type of management session is referred to as “local” because you must be physically close to the switch, such as in the wiring closet where the switch is located.

Once the session is started, a menu is displayed and you can make selections to configure and monitor the switch. You can configure all of a switch’s operating parameters from a local management session.

Note

For instructions on starting a local management session, refer to

Starting a Local Management Session on page 31.

A switch does not need an Internet Protocol (IP) address for you to manage it locally. You can start a local management session on a switch at any time. It will not affect the forwarding of frames by the device.

If you assign an AT-8000 Series switch an IP address and designate it as a master switch of an enhanced stack, you can will be able to manage all of the switches in the enhanced stack, all from the same local management session.

Note

For further information on enhanced stacking, refer to Enhanced

Stacking Overview on page 58.

22

AT-S39 User’s Guide

Telnet Management Session

Any management workstation on your network that has the Telnet application protocol can be used to manage an AT-8000 Series switch. This type of management session is referred to in this guide as a remote management session because you do not have to be in the wiring closet where the switch you want to manage is located. You can manage the switch from any workstation on the network that has the application protocol.

To establish a Telnet management session with a switch, there must be at least one AT-8000 Series switch in the subnet that has been assigned an Internet Protocol (IP) address. Only one switch in a subnet needs to have an IP address. Once you have established a Telnet management session with the switch that has an IP address, you can use the enhanced stacking feature of the AT-S39 software to access all the other enhanced stacking switches in the same subnet.

Note

For further information on enhanced stacking, refer to Enhanced

Stacking Overview on page 58.

Note

For instructions on how to start a Telnet management session, refer to Starting a Telnet Management Session on page 35.

A Telnet management session gives you complete access to all of a switch’s operating parameters. You can perform nearly all the same functions from a Telnet management session as you can from a local management session.

23

Section I: Overview

Web Browser Management Session

You can also use a web browser to manage a switch. This too is referred to as remote management, just like a Telnet management session. You can manage a switch from any workstation on your network that has a web browser.

Note

For instructions on starting this type of management session, refer to Starting a Web Browser Management Session on page 242.

In order to start a web browser management session, there must be at least one enhanced stacking switch in the subnet with an IP address and whose stacking status has been set to master. Once you have started a management session on the master switch, you can manage all of the switches in the enhanced stack.

Note

For further information on enhanced stacking, refer to Enhanced

Stacking Overview on page 58.

24

AT-S39 User’s Guide

SNMP Management Session

Another way to remotely manage the switch is with an SNMP management program. A familiarity with Management Information Base (MIB) objects is necessary for this type of management.

The AT-S39 software supports the following MIBs:

SNMP MIB-II (RFC 1213)

Bridge MIB (RFC 1493)

Interface Group MIB (RFC 1573)

Ethernet MIB (RFC 1643)

Remote Network MIB (RFC 1757)

Allied Telesyn managed switch MIB

You must download the Allied Telesyn managed switch MIB (atistackinfo.mib and atiswitch.mib) file from the Allied Telesyn web site and compile the file with your SNMP program. For instructions, refer to your SNMP management documentation.

Note

SNMP management does not utilize the enhanced stacking feature. Consequently, you must assign an IP address to each switch to be managed with an SNMP program.

25

Section I: Overview

Management Access Levels

There are two levels of management access on an AT-8000 Series switch: Manager and Operator. When you log in as a Manager, you can view and configure all of a switch’s operating parameters. When you log in as an Operator, you can only view the operating parameters; you cannot change any values.

You log in as a manager or an operator by entering the appropriate password when you start an AT-S39 management session. To log in as a manager, type “manager” as the login and “friend” as the password. The default user name for operator is “operator” and the password is also “operator”. The login names and passwords are case-sensitive.

26

Chapter 2

Starting a Local or Telnet Management Session

This chapter contains the procedure for starting a local or Telnet management session on an AT-8000 Series switch. The sections in the chapter are:

Local Management Session on page 30

Telnet Management Session on page 35

Saving Your Parameter Changes on page 37

29

Section II: Local or Telnet Management

Local Management Session

On the front panel of the switch is a port labelled RS232 Terminal Port. You can use this port to establish a local (out-of-band) management session with the switch’s AT-S39 management software.

A local management session is so named because you must be close to the switch, usually within a few meters, to start this type of management session. This typically means that you must be in the wiring closet where the switch is located.

A switch does not need an IP address to be managed from a local management session. You can start a local management session at any time on any AT-8000 Series switch in your network. A local management session does not interfere with the flow of Ethernet traffic through the unit.

Starting a local management session on a switch that has been configured as a Master switch allows you to manage all the switches in the enhanced stack from the same local management session. You do not have to start a separate local management session for each switch. This can simplify network management.

Starting a local management session on a switch that is not part of an enhanced stack or that is a slave switch allows you to manage just that switch.

Note

For information on enhanced stacking, refer to Enhanced Stacking
