Configuration Options

For advanced management capability, the on-board management agent provides a menu-driven system configuration program. This program can be accessed by a direct connection to the serial port on the rear panel (out-of-band), or by a Telnet connection over the network (in-band).

The management agent is based on SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). This SNMP agent permits the switch to be managed from any PC in the network using in-band management software (such as SMC’s EliteView).

The management agent 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

• Configure VLANs or multicast filtering

• Display system information or statistics

• Configure the switch to join a Spanning Tree

• Download system firmware

• Restart the system

WITCH MANAGEMENT

Required Connections

Console Port (Out-of-Band) Connections

Attach a VT100 compatible terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program to the serial port on the switch’s rear panel. 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 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 19200 bps (for initial configuration). Also be sure to set flow control to “none.” (Refer to “Configuring the Serial Port” on page 2-16 for a complete description of configuration options.)

Note: If the default settings for the management agent’s serial port

have been modified and you are having difficulty making a console connection, you can display or modify the current settings using a Web browser as described under “Configuring the Serial Port” on page 3-6.

In-Band Connections

Prior to accessing the switch’s on-board agent 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.

After configuring the switch’s IP parameters, you can access the on-board configuration program from anywhere within the attached network. The on-board configuration program can be accessed using Telnet from any computer attached to the network. The switch can also be managed by any computer using a Web browser (Internet Explorer 4.0 or above, or Netscape Navigator 4.0

EQUIRED CONNECTIONS

or above), or from a network computer using network management software such as

Notes: 1. By default BOOTP is disabled. To enable BOOTP, see

“IP Configuration” on page 2-12.

2. Up to four simultaneous Telnet sessions are supported by this switch.

3. The on-board program only provides access to basic configuration functions. To access the full range of SNMP management functions, you must use SNMPbased network management software, such as SMC’s free EliteView software.

You should define a new administrator password, record it and put it in a safe place. Select User Configuration from the Management Setup Menu and enter a new password for the administrator. Note that passwords can consist of up to 15 alphanumeric characters and are not case sensitive.

Notes: 1. You are allowed three attempts to enter the correct

password; on the third failed attempt the current connection is terminated.

2. If you have forgotten your password, you can return the switch to its default settings by entering “ResetSystem” (note, this is case-sensitive) as the user name (no password required). The system will then reboot and return to its default settings.

IP Configuration

Use the IP Configuration screen to set the bootup option, or configure the switch’s IP parameters. The screen shown below is described in the following table.

IP Configuration ================

Interface Type : Ethernet

IP Address : 192.168.1.254

Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0

Confirm current screen setting.

Parameter Description

Interface Type Indicates IP over Ethernet.

IP Address IP address of the switch you are managing. The system

supports SNMP over UDP/IP transport protocol. In this environment, all systems on the Internet such as network interconnection devices and any PC accessing the agent module (or running EliteView) must have an IP address.

Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers, 0 and 255, separated by periods. Anything outside this format will not be accepted by the configuration program.

Subnet Mask Subnet mask of the switch. This mask identifies the

host address bits used for routing to specific subnets.

Default Gateway Gateway used to pass trap messages from the system’s

agent to the management station. Note that the gateway must be defined if the a different IP segment.

management station is located in
