2-1-4-2. Configuring the Management Agent through the Ethernet Port

There are three ways to configure and monitor the switch through the

switch’s Ethernet port. They are CLI, Web browser and SNMP manager. The user
interface for the last one is NMS dependent and does not cover here. We just
introduce the first two types of management interface.

• Managing through Ethernet Port

Before you communicate with the switch, you have to finish first the

configuration of the IP address or to know the IP address of the switch. Then,
follow the procedures listed below.

1. Set up a physical path between the configured the switch and a PC by a

qualified UTP Cat. 5 cable with RJ-45 connector.

Note: If PC directly connects to the switch, you have to setup the same
subnet mask between them. But, subnet mask may be different for the PC in
the remote site. Please refer to Fig. 2-9 about the switch’s default IP address
information.

2. Run CLI or web browser and follow the menu. Please refer to Chapter 3 and

Chapter 4.

Default IP Setting:
IP = 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway = 192.168.1.254

Assign a reasonable IP address,
For example:
IP = 192.168.1.100
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway = 192.168.1.254
