3. CONFIGURATION
This chapter explains the methods that you can use to configure management access to the switch. It
describes the types of management applications and the communication and management protocols that
deliver data between your management device (work-station or personal computer) and the system. It
also contains information about port connection options.
This chapter covers the following topics:
▫Management Access Overview
▫Key Concepts
▫Key Guidelines for Implementation
▫Administration Console Access
▫Web Management Access
▫SNMP Access
▫Standards, Protocols, and Related Reading
3.1 Management Access Overview
The switch gives you the flexibility to access and manage the switch using any or all of the following
methods:
▫An administration console
▫Web browser interface
▫An external SNMP-based network management application
The administration console and Web browser interface support are embedded in the switch software and
are available for immediate use. Each of these management methods has their own advantages. Table
3-1 compares the three management methods.
Method Advantages Disadvantages
Console ‧No IP address or subnet needed
‧Text-based
‧Telnet functionality and HyperTerminal
built into Windows 95/98/NT/2000/ME/XP
operating systems
‧Secure
‧Must be near switch or use dial-up
connection
‧Not convenient for remote users
‧Modem connection may prove to be
unreliable or slow
Web Browser ‧Ideal for configuring the switch remotely
‧Compatible with all popular browsers
‧Can be accessed from any location
‧Security can be compromised
(hackers need only know the IP address
and subnet mask)

‧Most visually appealing ‧May encounter lag times on poor
connections
SNMP Agent ‧Communicates with switch functions at
the MIB level
‧Based on open standards
‧Requires SNMP manager software
‧Least visually appealing of all three
methods
‧Some settings require calculations
‧Security can be compromised
(hackers need only know the
community name)
Table 3-1 Management Methods Comparison
3.1.1 Administration Console
The administration console is an internal, character-oriented, and command line user interface for
performing system administration such as displaying statistics or changing option settings. Using this
method, you can view the administration console from a terminal, personal computer, Apple Macintosh,
or workstation connected to the switch's console (serial) port.
There are two ways to use this management method: via direct access or modem port access. The
following sections describe these methods. For more information about using the console, refer to
Chapter 4 Command Line Interface Console Management.
3.1.2 Direct Access
Direct access to the administration console is achieved by directly connecting a terminal or a PC
equipped with a terminal-emulation program (such as HyperTerminal) to the switch console (serial) port.
When using this management method, a null-modem cable is required to connect the switch to the PC.
After making this connection, configure the terminal-emulation program to use the following parameters:
The default parameters are:
▫115,200 bps
▫8 data bits
▫No parity
▫1 stop bit
You can change these settings, if desired, after you log on. This management method is often preferred
because you can remain connected and monitor the system during system reboots. Also, certain error
messages are sent to the serial port, regardless of the interface through which the associated action was
initiated. A Macintosh or PC attachment can use any terminal-emulation program for connecting to the
terminal serial port. A workstation attachment under UNIX can use an emulator such as TIP.
3.2 Web Management
The switch provides a browser interface that lets you configure and manage the switch remotely. After
