2. Switch Management
To set up the Managed Switch, the user needs to congure the Managed Switch
fornetwork management.The ManagedSwitchprovides twomanagement options:
Out-of-Band ManagementandIn-Band Management.
Out-of-Band Management
Out-of-band management is the management through Console interface.
Generally, the user will use out-of-band management for the initial switch
conguration,orwhenin-bandmanagementisnotavailable.
In-Band Management
In-band management refers to the management by logging in to the Managed
Switchusing Telnetor HTTP,orusingSNMP managementsoftwareto congurethe
Managed Switch. In-band management enables the management of the Managed
SwitchtoattachsomedevicestotheSwitch.Thefollowingproceduresarerequired
toenablein-bandmanagement:
1. Logon to console
2.Assign/CongureIPaddress
3. Create a remote login account
4.EnableHTTPorTelnetserverontheManagedSwitch
In case in-band management fails due to Managed Switch conguration changes,
out-of-band management can be used for conguring and managing the Managed
Switch.

converter.
 The above Workstations have been installed with terminal emulator, such as
Tera Term or PuTTY.
 Serial cable -- one end is attached to the RS232 serial port, while the other
endtotheconsoleportoftheManagedSwitch.
Ethernet Port Connection
 Networkcables--Usestandardnetwork(UTP)cableswithRJ45connectors.
