Preface
This guide contains instructions on how to use the AT-S79 management
software to manage and monitor the AT-GS950/16 and AT-GS950/24
Gigabit Ethernet Smart switches.
The AT-S79 management software has two management interfaces: a
menus interface and a web browser interface. You access the menus
interface through the console port on the switch. You access the web
browser interface from any management workstation on your network that
has a web browser application. For background information on the
management interfaces, refer to Chapter 1, “Overview” on page 17.
Note
The AT-S79 management software does not support remote
management with the Telnet application protocol or an SNMP
program.
Note
The interface illustrations in this book show the interface for the
AT-GS960/16 Gigabit Ethernet Smart Switch. With the exception of
the number of ports displayed, the features also apply to the
AT-GS9500/24 Gigabit Ethernet Smart Switch.
This preface contains the following sections:

Chapter 1
Overview
This chapter provides an overview of the AT-S79 management software
for the AT-GS950/16 and AT-GS950/24 switches. The chapter describes
the different methods for accessing the software and the management
access levels. This chapter contains the following sections:
“Management Overview” on page 18
“Local Management Connection” on page 19
“Remote Management Connection” on page 20
“Remote SNMP Management” on page 21
“Management Access Level” on page 22
“Ports 15 and 16 on the AT-GS950/16 Switch and Ports 23 and 24 on
the AT-GS950/24 Switch” on page 23
Chapter 1: Overview
18
Management Overview
The AT-S79 management software allows you to view and adjust the
operating parameters of the AT-GS950/16 and AT-GS950/24 Smart
Switches. Here are a few examples of the functions that you can perform
with the management software:
Enable and disable ports
Configure a port’s speed and duplex mode
Create port trunks
Configure a port mirror
Configure Quality of Service (QoS)
Create port-based and tagged virtual LANs
Configure 802.1x port-based network access control
The AT-S79 management software comes preinstalled on the switch with
default settings for all of the switch’s operating parameters. You do not
have to manage the switch if the default settings are adequate for your
network. Instead, you can use the device as an unmanaged switch by
connecting it to your network, as explained in the hardware installation
guide, and powering on the unit.
Note
The default settings for the management software are listed in
Appendix A, “AT-S79 Software Default Settings” on page 341.
To actively manage the switch and adjust its operating parameters, you
must access the switch’s AT-S79 management software. There are two
ways to manage the switch:
Local management using the menus interface
Remote management using the web browser interface
The chapters in Section I of this guide explain how to manage the switch
from a local management session using the menu interface, while the
chapters in Section II explain how to manage the device from a remote
session using the web browser interface. Both interfaces allow you to
configure all parameters on the switch.
The following sections in this chapter briefly describe each type of
management connection.
AT-S79 Management Software User’s Guide
19
Local Management Connection
To establish a local management connection with an AT-GS950/16 or
AT-GS950/24 Smart Switch, you connect a terminal or a PC with a
terminal emulator program to the terminal port on the front of the switch
using the management cable included with the unit. This type of
connection is referred to as “local” because you must be physically close
to the switch, such as in the wiring closet where the switch is located.
Note
For instructions on how to start a local management session, refer to
“Starting a Local Management Session” on page 28.
A switch does not need an Internet Protocol (IP) address for you to
manage it locally. You can start a local management session on a switch
at any time. It does not interfere with the forwarding of network packets by
the device.
Chapter 1: Overview
20
Remote Management Connection
The AT-S79 management software has a web browser interface that you
can use to manage an AT-GS950/16 or AT-GS950/24 Smart Switch from
any management station on your network that has a web browser
application. This is referred to as a remote connection.
The switch must have an IP address in order for you to manage it remotely
with a web browser. You can assign the switch an IP address manually or
you can activate the DHCP client so that the switch automatically obtains
its IP configuration from a DHCP server on the network. The initial
assignment of an IP address on a switch must be made through a local
connection to the unit.
For instructions on how to start a remote management session, refer to
“Establishing a Remote Connection to Use the Web Browser Interface” on
page 220.
Note
In order to remotely manage a switch using a web browser, the
remote management station must be a member of the switch’s
Default VLAN. The switch processes remote management packets
only when they are received on an untagged port of the Default
VLAN.
Note
The AT-S79 management software does not support remote
management with the Telnet application protocol.
