Configuration using WBM and CLI
To make the best possible use of the technical possibilities of the IE switches, you can adapt
the configuration of the device to the concrete situation in which it is used. There are two
ways of configuring an IE switch:
● With the Command Line Interface (CLI), you can configure the IE switches via Telnet or
SSH. An Ethernet connection is necessary. You can enable or disable Telnet or SSH
using Web Based Management.
● Web Based Management (WBM) accesses the configuration of the IE switches using a
Web browser. An Ethernet connection to the IE switch is necessary.
Note
Unauthorized access
Depending on the selected configuration method, the following mechanisms are integrated to
prevent unauthorized access to an IE switch:
CLI via TELNET or SSH
– A CLI session is interrupted automatically if there is no input for certain length of time.
In the factory settings, this is set to 300 seconds. You can increase this period to a
maximum of 600 seconds.
WBM
– With the WBM, there is an automatic logout after a certain time. In the factory settings,
this is set to 15 minutes. You can increase this period to a maximum of 60 minutes.
– In the top menu bar of the WBM user interface, you will see the "Logout" menu
command. To log out manually, click this command.
–
Always exit a WBM sessions by clicking "Logout". Simply closing the browser you are
using does not mean logging out and is therefore not secure.
Note
All the configuration
changes are adopted in the flash memory after approximately 1 minute
or after a warm restart. You should therefore run the "Restart" command in the command
line interface or in Web Based Management before turning off the device. This ensures that
all conf
iguration changes are saved.
Note
To use SNMP Management and traps, you require a network management station. This
does not ship with the IE
switch.
