Telnet Management Session

Any management workstation on your network that has the Telnet

application protocol can be used to manage an AT-9410GB Gigabit

Ethernet Switch. This type of management session is referred to in this

guide as a remote management session because you can manage the

switch from any workstation on your network that has the application

protocol.

Establishing a Telnet management session with an AT-9410GB switch

requires that the switch have an IP address. You cannot manage an

AT-9410GB switch remotely using the Telnet application protocol if it

does not have an IP address.

If you are just beginning to build your network and have not assigned

any IP addresses to switches, you might want to start by reading When

Does an AT-9410GB Switch Need an IP Address? on page 29. This

section contains a brief discussion about when it makes sense to assign

IP addresses to the AT-9410GB switches in your network.

Note

For instructions on how to start a Telnet management session, refer

to Starting a Telnet Management Session on page 27.

A Telnet management session gives you complete access to all of a

switch’s operating parameters. You can perform all the same functions

from a Telnet management session as you can from a local management

session.
