Remote Connections Prior to accessing the switch’s onboard agent via a network connection, you must
first configure the network interface or Craft port with a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address.
The default network interface is VLAN 1 which includes all switch ports. However,
note that the switch also includes a Craft port on the front panel that provides a
secure management channel isolated from all other ports on the switch. This
interface is not configured with an IP address by default, but may be manually
configured with an IPv4 address. The Craft port is specified with the name “craft” in
the commands used to configure its IP address (see “interface” on page 395).
When configuring the network interface, the IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway may all be set using a console connection, or DHCP protocol as described
in the following sections.
An IPv4 address for the primary network interface is set to an initial 192.168.2.10 by
default. To manually configure this address or enable dynamic address assignment
via DHCP, see “Setting an IP Address” on page 49.
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 9, Mozilla Firefox 52, Google Chrome 54, or
Opera 41, 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 49) for
managing the switch.
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.
