3.1.2 In-band Management
In-band management refers to the management by logging to the Chassis Switch using Telnet, HTTP, or
using SNMP management software to configure the Chassis Switch. In-band management enables the
management of the Chassis Switch to attach some devices to the Switch. The following procedure is required
to enable In-band management:
1. Logging on to console
2. Assigning/Configuring IP address
3. Creating a remote login account
4. Enabling HTTP or Telnet server on the Managed Switch
If in-band management fails, due to Chassis Switch configuration changes, out-of-band management can be
used for configuring and managing the Chassis Switch.
The Chassis Switch is shipped with Management Port IP address 192.168.1.1/24
assigned and VLAN 1 interface IP address 192.168.0.100/24 assigned by default.
User can assign another IP address to the Chassis Switch via the Console interface to
be able to remotely access the Chassis Switch through Telnet or HTTP.
3.1.2.1 Management via Telnet
To manage the Chassis Switch with Telnet, the following conditions should be met:
1) Chassis Switch has an IPv4/IPv6 address configured (Default IP address 192.168.1.1);
2) The host IP address (Telnet client) and the Chassis Switch’s VLAN interface IPv4/IPv6 address is in
the same network segment;
3) If 2) is not met, Telnet client can connect to an IPv4/IPv6 address of the Chassis Switch via other
devices, such as a router.
The Chassis Switch is Layer 3 Chassis Switch that can be configured with several IPv4/IPv6 addresses. The
following example assumes the shipment status of the Chassis Switch where only VLAN1 exists in the system.
The following describes the steps for a Telnet client to connect to the Chassis Switch’s VLAN1 interface by
Telnet (Take IPv4 address for an example):
