5.7 SNMP and RMON Management

SNMP management and RMON activities are performed at a network

management station running SNMP network management application

manager software with graphical user interface.

The switch serves as an SNMP agent and provides RMON capabilities

that allows network administrators to set parameters and view statistical

counters defined in the MIB-II, Bridge MIB, private MIB and RMON

MIB.

The supported MIBs are available in the supplied CD-ROM of the switch.

Use the SNMP management application software to compile the MIB file

first before performing any management operation.

5.8 Software Upgrade

The device supports a Software Upgrade feature through TFTP protocol

and Kermit protocol. TFTP file transfer functions allow you to perform

software upgrade over network and Kermit file transfer functions allow

you to perform software upgrade via console port.

If you select File transfer command from the Advanced Management

screen, specify the following information for software upgrade opera-

tion:

File name : file name of the new software version

IP address : from where the software upgrade will be obtained. The ad-

dress consists of numbers separated by periods. For example: 129.32.0.11

After you finish the upgrade operation, reboot the switch using the

supported command within the console or telnet.
