Management Access Overview

The switch gives you the flexibility to access and manage the switch using any or all of the following methods.
The web browser interface and administration console (CLI) support are embedded in the switch software and are available for immediate use.

following sections describe
these methods.

Direct Access

Direct access to the administration console is achieved by directly connecting a terminal or a PC equipped with a terminal-emulation program (such as HyperTerminal) to the switch console port.
When using the management method, configure the terminal-emulation program to use the following parameters (you can change these settings after login):
[DEFAULT PARAMETERS]
♦ 115,200bps ♦ 8 data bits ♦ No parity ♦ 1 stop bit
This management method is often preferred because you can remain connected and monitor the system during system reboots. Also, certain error messages are sent to the serial port, regardless of the interface through which the associated action was initiated. A Macintosh or PC attachment can use any terminal-emulation program for connecting to the terminal serial port. A workstation attachment under UNIX can use an emulator such as TIP.

motely.

SNMP-Based Network Management

You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the switch. This management method requires the SNMP agent on the switch and the SNMP Network Management Station to use the same community string. This management method, in fact, uses two community strings: the get community string and the set community string. If the SNMP Network management station only knows the set community string, it can read and write to the MIBs. However, if it only knows the get community string,
it can only read MIBs. The default get and set community
strings for the switch are public.

SIMPLE NETWORK MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL (SNMP)
SNMP is the standard management protocol for multivendor IP networks. SNMP supports transaction-based queries that allow the protocol to format messages and to transmit information between reporting devices and data-collection programs. SNMP runs on top of the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), offering a connectionless-mode service.

Management Architecture

All of the management application modules use the same Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI). By unifying management methods with a single MAPI, configuration parameters set using one method (e.g. console port) are immediately displayed the other management methods (e.g. SNMP agent of web browser).
The management architecture of the switch adheres to the IEEE open standard. This compliance assures customers that the switch is compatible with, and will interoperate with other solutions that adhere to the same open standard.

(RMON) capabilities.

Overview

RMON is an abbreviation for the Remote Monitoring MIB (Management Information Base). by the Internet Engineering Task 1757, which defines how networks can be monitored remotely.
RMONs typically consist of two components: an RMON probe and a management workstation:
- The RMON probe is an intelligent device or software agent that continually collects statistics about a LAN segment or VLAN. The RMON probe transfers the collected data to a management workstation on request or when a pre-defined threshold is reached.

- The management workstation collects the statistics that the RMON probe gathers. The workstation can reside on the same network as the probe, or it can have an in-band or out-of-band connection to the probe.

The switch provides RMON capabilities that allow network administrators to set parameters and view statistical counters defined in MIB-II, Bridge MIB, and RMON MIB. RMON activities are performed at a Network Management Station running an SNMP network management application with graphical user interface.
RMON is a system defined

MIB-II defines a set of manageable objects in various layers of the TCP/IP protocol suites. MIB-II covers all manageable objects from layer 1 to layer 4, and, as a result, is the major SNMP MIB supported by all vendors in the networking industry. The switch supports a complete implementation of SNMP Agent and MIB-II.
RMON MIB (RFC 1757) and Bridge MIB (RFC
1493)
The switch provides hardware-based RMON counters in the switch chipset. The switch manager CPU polls these counters periodically to collect the statistics in a format that complies with the RMON MIB definition.

RMON Groups Supported

The switch supports the following RMON MIB groups defined in RFC 1757:
- RMON Statistics Group – maintains utilization and error statistics for the switch port being monitored.
26 User’s Manual
Black Box Hardened Managed Ethernet Switch
- RMON History Group – gathers and stores tical samples from the previous Statistics Group.
- RMON Alarm Group – allow thresholds for any MIB variable. Threshold, High Threshold, or both. A trigger can trigger an alarm when the value of a specific MIB variable exceeds a threshold, falls below a threshold, or exceeds or falls below a threshold.
- RMON Event Group – allows a network administrator to define actions based on alarms. SNMP Traps are generated when RMON Alarms are triggered. The action taken in the Network Management Station depends on the specific network management application.

Bridge Groups Supported

The switch supports the following four groups of Bridge MIB (RFC 1493):
- The dot1dBase Group – a mandatory group that contains the objects applicable to all types of bridges.
- The dot1dStp Group – contains objects that denote the bridge’s state with respect to the Spanning Tree Protocol. If a node does not implement the Spanning Tree Protocol, this group will not be implemented. This group is applicable to any transparent only, source route, or SRT bridge that implements the Spanning Tree Protocol.
- The dot1dTp Group – contains objects that describe the entity’s transparent bridging status. This group is applicable to transparent operation only and SRT bridges.
- The dot1dStatic Group – contains objects that describe the entity’s destination-address filtering status. This group is applicable to any type of bridge which performs destination-address filtering.

When IGMP router suppression is enabled, the switch sends the first IGMP report from all hosts for a group to all the multicast routers. The switch does not send the remaining IGMP reports for the group to the multicast routers. This feature prevents duplicate reports from being sent to the multicast devices.

Administration Console

Connect the DB9 null-modem or cross over cable to the RS-232 serial port of the device to the RS-232 serial port of the terminal or computer running the terminal emulation application.
Direct access to the administration console is achieved by directly connecting a terminal or a PC equipped with a terminal-emulation program (such as HyperTerminal) to the switch console port.
When using the management method, configure the terminal-emulation program to use the following parameters (you can change these settings after login):
