Chapter 1

Switch Management

Configuration Options

For advanced management capability, the AT-8324SX switch’s AT-BMGMT Management Module provides a menu-driven system configuration program. This program can be accessed by a direct or modem connection to the serial port on the management module (out­of-band), or by a Telnet connection over the network (in-band).
The management module is based on SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). This SNMP agent permits a switch stack to be managed from any PC in the network using in-band management software.
The management module 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
Select VLANs or multicast filtering
Display system information or statistics
Configure the switch to join a Spanning Tree Domain
Download system firmware
Restart the system
17
Switch Management

Making Connections for System Configuration

The switch includes a menu-driven configuration program. The ASCII interface to this program can be accessed by making a direct connection to the serial port on the Network Management Module, or by a Telnet connection to the switch over the network.
This section describes how to access the menu-driven configuration program via:
Serial connection: A terminal or workstation connected to the serial port on the Network Management Module.
Telnet connection: A workstation connected to a remote switch via a Telnet connection.
It also describes how to access the embedded Web agent over the network using any standard browser, or with the provided network management software or other third-party management software.
Serial Connection
In-Band
Connections
Attach a VT100 compatible terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program to the serial port on the Network Management Module. 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, Pin Assignments 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 33 for a complete description of
configuration options.)
Prior to accessing the Network Management Module 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.
Telnet Connection
After configuring the switch’s IP parameters, you can access the on­board configuration program from anywhere within the attached network using Telnet.
18
Note
Use the Network Configuration menu to specify the maximum number of simultaneous Telnet sessions that are supported by the system.
In-Band Network Connection
The on-board configuration program can be accessed using Telnet from any computer attached to the network. The switch and stack 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.
Note
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.

Using the System Configuration Program

Login Screen

Once a direct connection to the serial port or a Telnet connection is established, the login screen for the on-board configuration program appears. If this is your first time to log into the configuration program, then the default user names are "admin" and "guest," with no password. 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 a new password for the administrator. Note that passwords can consist of up to 11 alphanumeric characters and are not case sensitive.
Based on the default configuration, a user is allowed three attempts to enter the correct password; on the third failed attempt the current connection is terminated.
Note
