1.3 Management Software
The following is a list of management software options provided by this Managed Switch:
Managed Switch CLI interface
SNMP-based Management Software
Web Browser Application
Console Program
The Managed Switch has a built-in Command Line Interface called the CLI which you can use to:
Configure the system
Monitor the status
Reset the system
You can use CLI as the only management system. However, other network management options,
SNMP-based management system, are also available.
You can access the text-mode Console Program locally by connecting a VT-100 terminal - or a
workstation running VT100 emulation software - to the Managed Switch RS-232 DB-9 Console
port directly. Or, you can use Telnet to login and access the CLI through network connection
remotely.
SNMP Management System
Standard SNMP-based network management system is used to manage the Managed Switch
through the network remotely. When you use a SNMP-based network management system, the
Managed Switch becomes one of the managed devices (network elements) in that system. The
Managed Switch management module contains an SNMP agent that will respond to the requests
from the SNMP-based network management system. These requests, which you can control, can
vary from getting system information to setting the device attribute values.
The Managed Switch‟s private MIB is provided for you to be installed in your SNMP-based
network management system.
Web Browser Application
You can manage the Managed Switch through a web browser, such as Internet Explorer or
Netscape, etc.. (The default IP address of the Managed Switch port can be reached at
“http://192.168.0.1”.) For your convenience, you can use either this Web-based Management
Browser Application program or other network management options, for example SNMP-based
management system as your management system.
