Accessing the CI Menus and Screens
You can access the CI menus and screens locally through a console terminal,
remotely through a dial-up modem connection, or in-band through a TELNET
session (see “
” on
You can also manage the BayStack 450 switch using Nortel Networks Optivity
network management software or any generic SNMP-based management
software; however, for the switch management function to become fully
operational, you must supply certain parameters such as the switch IP address or
stack IP address, if configured (see “
).
For information about SNMP, see your network management documentation.
Note:
If you have a properly configured BootP server in your network, it will
detect the IP address; you will not need to configure the IP address.
