3 Preparation for Management
The switch provides both in-band and out-band configuration methods. You
can configure the switch via RS-232 console cable if you don’t attach your
admin PC to your network, or if you lose network connection to the switch.
This is so-called out-band management. It wouldn’t be affected by network
connectivity.
The in-band management means you can remotely manage the switch via the
network. You can choose Telnet, SSH or Web-based management. You just
need to know the device’s IP address and you can remotely connect to its
embedded HTTP web pages or Telnet console.
Following topics are covered in this chapter:
3.1 Preparation for Serial Console
3.2 Preparation for Web Interface
3.3 Preparation for Telnet console
Note: It is recommended management session don’t exceed 2 accounts for
Web and Telnet management. Once the session exceeds 3 accounts, the
system kernel may show some information in the local / telnet interface.
