Chapter 2: Starting a Management Session
24 Section I: Getting Started
Overview
You can manage the switch locally or remotely. Local management is
conducted through the Console port on the switch. Remote management
is performed through Telnet or the Web browser interface from
workstations on your network.
The initial configuration of the switch must be from a local
management session. See “Starting a Local Management Session”
on page 25.
The switch comes with the Telnet server so that you can start a remote
management session through a Telnet client on your management
workstation.
Requirements for
Remote
Management
Here are the requirements for remote management of the switch from a
Telnet client on your network:
You must assign the switch a management IP address to access the
switch using Telnet and the Web browser. For instructions, see or
“Adding a Management IP Address” on page 28.
The management workstation must be a member of the same subnet
as the management IP address on the switch, or must have access to
the switch through routers or other Layer 3 devices.
To manage the switch through the web browser interface, see the
AT-GS900M Series Switch Web Browser User’s Guide.

Configure First
