VOLKTEK NSH-5509 MANAGED 8-PORT 10/100 + 1-PORT 100-FX SWITCH
6 Configuration
6.1 Overview of configuration options
For advanced management capabilities, the onboard management agent provides CLI
interface configuration programs. These programs can be accessed by a direct or
modem connection to the console port on the front panel (out-of-band), or by a Telnet
connection over the network (in-band).
The management agent is based on SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol).
This SNMP agent permits the switch to be managed from any PC in the network by
using in-band management software.
The management agent also includes an embedded HTTP Web agent. This Web agent
can be accessed using a standard Web browser from any computer attached to the
network.
The switch gives you the flexibility to access and manage it by using any or all of the
methods described. The administration console and web browser interfaces are
embedded in the Switch software and can be used immediately after setup.
