Switch Management
Configuration Options
For advanced management capability, the AT-8324SX switch’s
AT-BMGMT Management Module provides a menu-driven system
configuration program. This program can be accessed by a direct or
modem connection to the serial port on the management module (out-
of-band), or by a Telnet connection over the network (in-band).
The management module is based on SNMP (Simple Network
Management Protocol). This SNMP agent permits a switch stack to be
managed from any PC in the network using in-band management
software.
The management module 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 system configuration program and the SNMP agent support
management functions such as:
❑
Enable/disable any port
❑
Set the communication mode for any port
❑
Configure SNMP parameters
❑
Select VLANs or multicast filtering
❑
Display system information or statistics
❑
Configure the switch to join a Spanning Tree Domain
❑
Download system firmware
