Configuring the Switch from a Web Server
The Reset Configuration operation will not reset the password of the
Embedded Web Server. (Refer to Resetting the Configuration on page 7-18 for
information on resetting the configuration.)
By using the Connectrix Manager, you do not have do configure the DS-32M2
with a public IP. The Connectrix Manager utilizes a private network inside
the Connectrix cabinet to connect to the DS-32M2.
Management Support — Connectrix Manager vs. Embedded Web Server
This section lists Connectrix features and functions, and shows
whether they are supported by Connectrix Manager and the
Embedded Web Server.
Table C-1 demonstrates the considerable advantages of managing the
Connectrix environment with Connectrix Manager 4.1. If Connectrix
Manager is already used on site or was purchased for management of
ED-1032s or ED-64Ms, it is highly recommened that the DS-xxM
products be purchased with a Product Manager license as well. If this
license is purchased, when installing a DS-xxM outside of a
Connectrix cabinet, consider cabling these switch product’s Ethernet
cable back to the Ethernet hub in a nearby EC-1x00 cabinet and
installing the switches into Connectrix Manager. If this is not an
option, consider cabling the new switches onto the same Ethernet as
the Connectrix Manager’s Clients. Connectrix Manager can support
switches on its private and public Ethernets simultaneously.
