2.3 Management
The M-Class series models can be remotely managed via a variety of mechanisms/ platforms at
virtually no integration efforts:
IP Based (in-band): SNMP (v1/v2/v3), Telnet, SSH, Web (HTTP, HTTPS).
Console (RJ-45): RS-232 (115,200Bd), CLI (Cisco like).
OAM/IEEE802.3ah: when connected to third party edge switch that supports the standard.
