Section I
Overview
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.
18
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. Functions that 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 the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
❑ Activate enhanced stacking functions
❑ Activate and configure RSTP
❑ 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
19
Section I: Overview
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.
Note
The default settings for the management software can be found in
Appendix A, AT-S39 Default Settings on page 312.
To actively manage a switch, such as to change or adjust the operating
parameters, you must access the switch’s AT-S39 management softw are.
The AT-S39 software has a menu interface that makes 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.
20
Local Management Session
You can 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 30.
AT-S39 User’s Guide

Section I: Overview
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 on 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 other AT-8000
Series 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 34.
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.
22
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 227.
AT-S39 User’s Guide
23
Section I: Overview
SNMP Management Ses sion
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 Telesy n 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.
24
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”. Both login and password are case-sensitive.

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 29
❑ Telnet Management Session on page 34
28
Local Management Session
On the front panel of the switch is a port labelled RS232 Terminal Port.
You use this port to establish a local 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. Running 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 of an enhanced stack allows you to
manage all the switches in the subnet 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.
AT-S39 User’s Guide
Starting a local management session on a switch that is not part of an
enhanced stack or that is a slave switch in an enhanced stack allows you
to manage just that switch.
Note
For information on enhanced stacking, refer to Enhanced Stacking
Overview on page 58.
