Configuration Options

For advanced management capability, the TigerStack 100 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 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 2-17 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 “Console Configuration” on page 3-5.

EQUIRED CONNECTIONS

In-Band Connections

Prior to accessing the Network Management Module 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 and stack can also be managed by any computer using a Web browser (Internet Explorer 4.0, or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or above), or from a network computer using network management software such as EliteView.

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

Configuration” on page 2-13.

2. Use the Network Configuration menu to specify the maximum number of simultaneous Telnet sessions that are supported by the system (up to four).

3. 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.

SING THE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION PROGRAM

You should define a new administrator password, record it and put it in a safe place. Select Console Login Configuration from the Management Setup Menu and enter a new password for the administrator. Note that passwords can consist of up to 11 alphanumeric characters and are not case sensitive.

Note: Based on the default configuration, a user is allowed three attempts

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

After you enter the user name and password, you will have access to the system configuration program as illustrated by the following menu hierarchy:
