Management Methods

The MIL-SM801XX series supports the following management methods:

n

Console and Telnet Management

n

Web-based Management

n

SNMP Network Management

Console and Telnet Management

Console Management is done through the serial Console Port. This method
requires a direct connection between a PC and the MIL-SM801XX. Telnet
management is done over the network. Once the MIL-S801XX has an assigned IP
address and is on the network, you can use Telnet to login and make configuration
changes.

Web-based Management

The switch provides an embedded HTML web site residing in flash memory. It offers
advanced management features and allows users to manage the MIL-SM801XX
from anywhere on the network through a standard browser such as Microsoft
Internet Explorer
or Netscape Navigator. For more information, see chapter 6.

SNMP Network Management

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) provides a way to monitor and
control network devices, and to manage configurations, statistic collection,
performance, and security.
