Configure system for management
Your system is shipped from the factory with IEEE 802.1 bridging set to off. To configure
your system for your particular networking environment (including customized filtering,
SNMP setup, and routing), you must first establish management access.
You can manage your system locally through a terminal connection or remotely using an IP
or modem connection. Figure 47 describes the access mechanisms.
For more information on access mechanisms, see Chapter 6: Quick Setup for Management
Access in the Getting Started Guide for your system.
