Setup Guide

The back panel, shown below, contains: A 12VDC jack for (optional)

emergency power; the primary power bay cover plate; the on/off

switch; and the primary power outlet.

1.5 Management and Configuration

A network administrator can manage the switch with three different

methods: web, console/telnet, or SNMP software. They may prefer

using a web browser to enable configuring the switch from any local

or remote computer, via the network, or they may wish to use a

console for out-of-band management. The switch’s default IP ad-

dress is 192.168.0.1 and the default password is Asante (the pass-

word is case sensitive and must appear exactly as it is shown here).

SNMP is an advanced management application, and is mostly auto-

matic, giving the information without having to go through an inter-

face step-by-step (Note: The switch is shipped with BootP support.

See Appendix F BootP Configuration of the User’s Manual for more

information on setting up BootP.)

1.5.1 Console Interface

Users can access the switch in a more traditional way by connect-

ing a PC or terminal to the console port or by telnet across the net-

work. The menus are organized in a manner similar to the web-

based interface. A detailed description can be found in Chapter 3

Configuration of the User’s Manual (CD-ROM.)

Note: By default, the HTTP server is disabled. In order to manage

the switch through the web interface, the HTTP server function must

be enabled via the console interface.
