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 func tio ns 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

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 en d an d a 25- pin co nnector on the other end. Set th e mo dem
at the switch’s site to force auto-answer mode. The following is a
sample initialization string: “ATQ1S0=1&D0&K0&W” as defin ed
belo 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
S
WITCH MANAGEMENT
1-3
Configure the Remote 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 Connection
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).
S
WITCH MANAGEMENT

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.

Interface Type Indicates IP over Ethernet.
IP Address* IP address of the switch you are managing. The switch
supports SNMP over UDP/IP transport protocol. In
thi s e nvironm ent, all sys tems on the Inte rnet , su ch a s
network interconnection devices and any PC
accessing the on-board management agent (or
running EliteView) must have an IP address.
Valid IP addresses c onsist of four numbers, of 0 to
255, and separated by periods. Anything outside of
this format will not be accepted by the configuration
program .
Subnet Mask* Subnet mask of the switch you have selected. This
mask identifi es the host address bits used for routing
to specific subnets.

IP State Specifies whether IP functionality is enabled via
manual configuration, or set by Boot Protocol
(BOOTP). Options include:
USER-CONFIG -IP functionality is enabled based on
the default or user specified IP Configuration. (This is
the default setting.)
BOOTP Get IP - IP is enabled but will n ot function
until a BOOTP reply has been received. BOOTP
requests will be periodically broadcast by the switch
in an effort to learn its IP address. (BOOTP values can
include the IP address, default gateway, subnet mask,
and TFTP server IP.)
