ANAGEMENT

Configuration Options

For advanced management capability, the TigerSwitch 1000 management agent provides a menu-driven system configuration program. This program can be accessed by a direct or modem 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 managem ent fu nc tions such as:

• Enable/disable any port

• Set the communication mode for any port

• Configure SNMP parameters

• Display system information or statistics

• Configure the switch to join a Spanning Tree

• Download system firmware

• Restart the system

WITCH MANAGE MENT

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 2-14 for a complete description of configuration options.)

Remote Management via the Console Port

Configure the Switch Site

Connect the switch’s DB9 serial port to the modem’s serial port using standard cabling. For most modems which use a 25-pin port, you will have to provide an RS232 cable with a 9-pin connector on one end an d a 25- pin conn ector on the o ther end. S et th e modem at the switch’s site to force auto-answer mode. The following is a sample initialization string: “ATQ1S0=1&D0&K0&W” as defined bel o w:

Q1 : Inhibit result codes to DTE S0=1 : Auto answer on first ring D0 : Don’t care DTR K0 : Disables DTE/DCE flow control W : Write command to modem memory

1-2

WITCH MANAGEMENT

Configure the Re mote Site

At the remote site, connect the PC’s COM port (COM 1~4) to the modem’s serial port. 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, 19200 bps and no flow control.

In-Band Connections

Prior to accessing the management 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.

Note: By default BOOTP is disabled. To enable BOOTP, see “IP

Configuration” on page 2-11.

Telnet Connect ion

Prior to accessing the management agent via an in-band Telnet connection, you must first configure it with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway using an out-of-band connection or BOOTP protocol. After configuring the switch’s IP parameters, you can access the on-board configuration program from anywhere within the attached network.

Note: Use the Network Configuration menu to specify the

maximum number of simultaneous Telnet sessions that are supported by the system (up to four).

1-3

WITCH MANAGE MENT

In-Band Network Connection

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

Note: The on-board program only provides access to basic

configuration functions. To access the full range of SNMP management functions, you must use SNMP-based network management software, such as SMC’s free EliteView software.
