3.2 Management Access Overview
The Industrial Managed Switch gives you the flexibility to access and manage it using any or all of the following methods:
Remote Telnet Interface
Web browser Interface
An external SNMP-based network management application
The remote Telnet and Web browser interfaces are embedded in the Industrial Managed Switch software and are available for
immediate use. Each of these management methods has their own advantages. Table 3-1 compares the three management
methods.
Method Advantages Disadvantages
Console
No IP address or subnet needed
Text-based
Telnet functionality and HyperTerminal
built into Windows
95/98/NT/2000/ME/XP operating
systems
Secure
Must be near the switch or use dial-up
connection
Not convenient for remote users
Modem connection may prove to be unreliable
or slow
Remote
Telnet
Text-based
Telnet functionality built into Windows
XP/2003, Vista, Windows 7 operating
systems
Can be accessed from any location
Security can be compromised (hackers need
only know the IP address)
Web Browser
Ideal for configuring the switch remotely
Compatible with all popular browsers
Can be accessed from any location
Most visually appealing
Security can be compromised (hackers need
only know the IP address and subnet mask)
May encounter lag times on poor connections
SNMP Agent
Communicates with switch functions at
the MIB level
Based on open standards
Requires SNMP manager software
Least visually appealing of all three methods
Some settings require calculations
Security can be compromised (hackers need
only know the community name)
