* This manual covers the ECS4510-28T/52T Gigabit Ethernet switches, the
ECS4510-28F/28F-DC Gigabit Ethernet fiber switches, and the ECS4510-28P/52P
Gigabit Ethernet PoE switches. Other than the difference in port types, and
support for PoE (ECS4510-28P/52P), there are no other significant differences.
Therefore most of the screen display examples are based on the ECS4510-28T.
Remote Connections Prior to accessing the switch’s onboard agent via a network connection, you must
first configure it with a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address, subnet mask, and default gateway
using a console connection, or DHCP protocol.
An IPv4 address for the switch is obtained via DHCP by default. To manually
configure this address or enable dynamic address assignment via DHCP, see
“Setting an IP Address” on page 56.
After configuring the switch’s IP parameters, you can access the onboard
configuration program from anywhere within the attached network. The onboard
configuration program can be accessed using Telnet or SSH from any computer
attached to the network. The switch can also be managed by any computer using a
web browser (Internet Explorer 6, Mozilla Firefox 4, or Google Chrome 29, or more
recent versions), or from a network computer using SNMP network management
software.
Note: This switch supports eight Telnet sessions or SSH sessions.
Note: Any VLAN group can be assigned an IP interface address (page 56) for
managing the switch. Also, note that the Master unit does not have to include an
active port member in the VLAN interface used for management access.
The onboard program only provides access to basic configuration functions. To
access the full range of SNMP management functions, you must use SNMP-based
network management software.
