Management Methods

The 8 Port SNMP Managed Switch supports following management methods:

• Console and Telnet Management

• Web-based Management

• SNMP Network Management

Console and Telnet Management

Console Management is done through the RS-232 Console Port. Managing the 24 Port SNMP

Managed Switch in this method requires a direct connection between PC and the 8 Port SNMP

Managed Switch. While Telnet management is done over the network. Once the 8 Port SNMP

Managed Switch is on the network, you can use Telnet to log in and change the configuration.

The automatic log-out times is currently set at less than 1 minute, however this duration will be

extended in the next software release.

Web Based Management

The switch can be managed using a standard web browser that supports Java applets. This

interface has the same functionality as the console/Telnet interfaces but is more user-friendly.

See page 38 for details.

SNMP Network Management

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) provides a means to monitor and control a

network device, and to manage configurations, statistic collection, performance and security.

Data is passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware & software processes reporting activity

in each network device to the workstation console used to oversee the network. The agent

returns information 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.

Quick Start Guide

If you do not need to apply VLANs, Quality of Service, adjust any settings or manage the switch

via the network, then the switch can be used “straight-from-the-box” to carry network traffic. In

that case, no further action is needed. If you want to use the management settings or controls,

then a little work is needed to configure the switch.

1. After the installation is completed and AC power is applied to the switch, the unit will

automatically perform a diagnostic test. The switch loads its operating code from memory

and performs a full power-on self test. The screen will display the self-test progress, but do

not press any keys at this stage. This power-up sequence takes approx. 90 seconds to

complete. The web interface will take a further 30 seconds to become operational.

2. Configure you PC terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal to allow it to

communicate with the switch via the supplied serial cable connected to the front panel

Console port. Set the emulation program for 9600, 8, No Parity, No Flow Control. See page

12 for details

3. When the password and user name prompt is displayed, use the default username of root

in lower case letters. Use the password root. The main menu screen will be displayed. Use

either cursor keys or the tab key to navigate up and down the menu. Select the item using

the <CR> key. The <ESC> key will return you to the previous menu level.

4. If the switch is to be managed over the LAN using the Telnet, SNMP or the web browser

functions, then an IP address is to be assigned to the switch. See page 20 for details. If the

switch is not being managed over the LAN, then go to page 12 below.

5. Once an IP address has been assigned to the switch, it should be possible to PING the

switch over the network. This will prove that the switch is present and responding correctly

to network requests.

6. Now that the switch can be accessed over the network, use a browser application to open

up the configuration screens. Enter the switch IP address into the browser Address window

and use the same user name and password set as in 3 above.

7. Using the preferred method (console, Telnet or web browser), configure the switch to meet

your network requirements. Always save the configuration at the end of each action.

8. If you need to revert the switch back to the factory default configuration, then see page 37.

8 Port SNMP Managed Switch – User Manual Page 12

Management Using The Console

Configuring the Console Interface

When the connection between Switch and PC is complete, turn on the PC and run a terminal

emulation program such as Hyper Terminal and configure its communication parameters to

match the following default characteristics of the console port:

Baud Rate: 9600 bps

Data Bits: 8

Parity: none

Stop Bit: 1

Control flow: None
