Management Methods
The MIL-S3580 supports the following management methods:
 Console and Telnet Management
 Web-based Management
 SNMP Network Management

7
Console and Telnet Management
Console Management is done through the RS-232 Console Port. Managing the
MIL-S3580 in this method requires a direct connection between a PC and the
MIL-S3580. Telnet management is done over the network. Once the MIL-S3580
has an IP and is on the network, you can use Telnet to log in and change or view
the configuration.
SNMP Network Management
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) provides a means to monitor and
control network devices, and to manage configurations, statistic collection,
performance, and security.
Data is passed from SNMP agents. SNMP agents are hardware & software
processes reporting activity in each network device to the workstation console.
The agent return information is contained in a MIB (Management Information
Base), which is a data structure that defines what is obtainable from the device and
what can be controlled.
