Configuration Options

For advanced management capability, the on-board management agent provides a menu- dr iven 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 T elnet conn ection over t he network (in- band).

The management agent is based on SNMP (Simple Ne twork 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 incl udes an embedde d 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 po rt

• Set the communication mode for any port

• Configure SNMP parameters

• Add ports to network VLANs

• Configure IP routing and multicast VLANs

• Display system information or statistics

• Configure the switch to join a Spanning Tree

• Download system fir mware

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 sw itch’s rear panel. Use the null-modem cable provided with this package, or use a null-modem connec tion that co mplies with the wiri ng assignments shown in Appendix B of this guide.

When attaching to a PC, se t terminal emulatio n ty pe to VT100, specify the port used by your PC (i.e., COM 1~4), and then set communications t o 8 dat a bits, 1 s top bit, no par ity, and 19200 b ps (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 defaul t settings fo r the manageme nt agent’s se rial 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 th e switch’s on-boa rd 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 confi g uration progra m f rom anywhere wi thin the attached network. The on- boar d c onf iguration 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 N avigator 4. 0

<APPLY> <OK> <CANCEL> Use <TAB> or arrow keys to move, other ke ys to make changes.

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 to 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 (when operating at Layer 2) if the management station is located in a diff erent IP segment.
