1.2 Management Options
Switch management options available are listed below:
Local Console Management
Telnet Management
SNMP Management
WEB Management
SSH Management
Local Console Management
Local Console Management is done through the RS-232 DB-9 Console port located on the rear
panel of the Managed Switch. Direct RS-232 cable connection between the PC and the Managed
switch is required for this type of management.
Telnet Management
Telnet runs over TCP/IP and allows you to establish a management session through the network.
Once the Managed switch is on the network with proper IP configurations, you can use Telnet to
login and monitor its status remotely.
SSH Management
SSH Management supports encrypted data transfer to prevent the data from being “stolen” for
remote management. You can use PuTTY, a free and open source terminal emulator application
which can act as a client for the SSH, to gain access to the Managed Switch.
SNMP Management
SNMP is also done over the network. Apart from standard MIB (Management Information Bases),
an additional private MIB is also provided for SNMP-based network management system to
compile and control.
Web Management
Web Management is done over the network and can be accessed via a standard web browser,
such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. Once the Managed switch is available on the network, you
can login and monitor the status of it through a web browser remotely or locally. Local Console-
type Web management, especially for the first time use of the Managed Switch to set up the
needed IP, can be done through one of the 10/100Base-TX 8-pin RJ-45 ports located at the front
panel of the Managed Switch. Direct RJ-45 LAN cable connection between a PC and the
Managed Switch is required for Web Management.
