Preface

This guide contains instructions on how to use the AT-S80 management software to monitor and manage the AT-FS750/16 and AT-FS750/24 Fast Ethernet Smart switches.

The AT-S80 Management Software has two management interfaces: a menus interface and a web browser interface. You access the menus interface through the console port on the switch. You access the web browser interface from any management workstation on your network that has a web browser application. For background information on the management interfaces, refer to Chapter 1, “Overview” on page 17.

Note

The AT-S80 management software does not support remote management with the Telnet application protocol or an SNMP program.

Note

The interface illustrations in this book show the interface for the AT-FS750/16 Fast Ethernet Smart Switch in the menus section and the interface for the AT-FS750/24 Fast Ethernet Smart Switch in the web section of the book. The AT-S80 software features are identical in both switches with the exception of the number of ports displayed.

This preface contains the following sections:

Chapter 1

Overview

This chapter provides an overview of the AT-S80 Management Software for the AT-FS750/16 and AT-FS750/24 switches. This chapter contains the following sections:

“Management Overview” on page 18

“Remote SNMP Management” on page 20

“Management Access Level” on page 21

“Ports 17 and 18 on the AT-FS750/16 Switch and Ports 25 and 26 on the AT-FS750/24 Switch” on page 22

Chapter 1: Overview

Management Overview

The AT-S80 Management Software allows you to view and adjust the operating parameters of the AT-FS750/16 and AT-FS750/24 Fast Ethernet Switches. A few examples of the management functions are listed here:

Enable and disable ports

Configure a port’s speed and duplex mode

Create port trunks

Configure a port mirror

Configure Quality of Service (QoS)

Create port-based and tagged virtual LANs

Configure 802.1x port-based network access control

The AT-S80 management software comes preinstalled on the switch with default settings for all of the switch’s operating parameters. Managing the switch is not required if the default settings are adequate for your network. Instead, you can use the device as an unmanaged switch by connecting it to your network and powering on the unit, as explained in the hardware installation guide.

Note

The default settings for the management software are listed in

Appendix A, “AT-S80 Software Default Settings” on page 339.

In order to actively manage the switch and adjust its operating parameters, you must access the switch’s AT-S80 management software. You can access the management software using one of the following methods:

Local management using the Console port on the switch and the menus interface. See “Local Management Connection” on page 19.

Remote management using a web browser and the web browser interface. See “Remote Management Connection” on page 19.

The chapters in Section I of this guide explain how to manage the switch from a local management session using the menu interface. The chapters in Section II explain how to manage the device from a remote session using the web browser interface. Both interfaces allow you to configure all of a switch’s parameters.

Connection

AT-S80 Management Software User’s Guide

To establish a local management connection with an AT-FS750/16 or AT-FS750/24 Fast Ethernet Switch, you must connect a terminal or a PC with a terminal emulator program to the console port on the front of the switch using the management cable which is included with the unit. This type of connection is referred to as “local” because you must be physically close to the switch, such as in the wiring closet where the device is located.

Note

For instructions on how to start a local management session, refer to “Starting a Local Management Session” on page 26.

A switch does not need an Internet Protocol (IP) address for local management. You can start a local management session on a switch at any time. It does not interfere with the forwarding of network packets by the device.

The AT-S80 management software has a web browser interface for managing the AT-FS750/16 and AT-FS750/24 switches remotely from any management station on your network that has a web browser application.

The switch must have an IP address in order for you to manage it remotely with a web browser. You can assign the IP address manually or activate the DHCP client so the switch automatically obtains its IP configuration from a DHCP server on the network. The initial assignment of an IP address or the activation of the DHCP client software must be performed through a local management session of the switch.

For instructions on how to start a remote management session, refer to “Establishing a Remote Connection to Use the Web Browser Interface” on page 214.

Note

A remote management station must be a member of the switch’s Default VLAN for you to use it to manage the unit. The switch processes remote management packets only when they are received on an untagged port of the Default VLAN.

Note

The AT-S80 Management Software does not support remote management with the Telnet application protocol.

19

Chapter 1: Overview

Remote SNMP Management

You can also remotely configure the switch using a Simple Network Management (SNMP) application such as AT-View. This management method requires an understanding of Management Information Base (MIB) objects.

Note

You must assign an IP address to the switch for remote SNMP management. For background information, see “Configuring the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address” on page 32.

20

AT-S80 Management Software User’s Guide

Management Access Level

The AT-S80 Management Software has one management access level: manager. When you log in as a manager, you can view and configure all of the switch’s operating parameters. You log in as a manager by entering the appropriate username and password when you start an AT-S80 management session. The default username is “manager” and the default password is “friend.”

21

Chapter 1: Overview

Ports 17 and 18 on the AT-FS750/16 Switch and Ports 25 and 26 on the AT-FS750/24 Switch

Ports 17 and 18 on the AT-FS750/16 switch and ports 25 and 26 on the AT-FS750/24 switch are dual ports. Each has one 10/100/1000Base-T twisted pair port and one transceiver slot for an optional SFP transceiver. Note the following when configuring these dual ports:

By default, the twisted pair port of a dual port is the active port.

An optional SFP port is activated when it establishes a link with an end node, at which point the affiliated twisted pair port changes to the redundant state.

A twisted pair port and its affiliated optional SFP port share the same configuration settings, including port settings and VLAN assignments. When an SFP port establishes a link with an end node, it operates with the same settings as the twisted pair port.

Chapter 2: Getting Started with the Menus Interface

Starting a Local Management Session

You establish a local management session with the switch by connecting a terminal or personal computer with a terminal emulation program to the the Console port on the front panel of the switch.

Note

The switch does not need an IP address when managed from a local management session.

To start a local management session, perform the following procedure:

1.Connect one end of the management cable included with the switch to the Console port on the switch, as shown in Figure 1.

23	CONSOLE
	24

Figure 1. Connecting the Management Cable to the Console Port

2.Connect the other end of the cable to the RS-232 port on a terminal or PC with a terminal emulator program.

3.Configure the terminal or terminal emulator program as follows:

Baud per second: 9600

Data bits: 8

Stop bits: 1

Flow control: None

Note

These settings are for a DEC VT100 or ANSI terminal, or an equivalent terminal emulation program. They cannot be changed.

AT-S80 Management Software User’s Guide

Quitting from a Local Management Session

To quit from a local management session, return to the Main Menu and type Q for Quit. Always be sure to exit from a management session when you are finished. This can protect the switch from unauthorized changes to its configuration should you leave your workstation unattended.

Note

A local management session automatically times out if there is no management activity during a timeout period. The timeout feature is intended to protect the parameter settings on the switch from unauthorized changes should you leave your management station unattended during a management session. The default timeout value is 10 minutes. To change the timeout default value, refer to “Setting the User Interface Configuration” on page 38.
