Configuration/
Management
The IntraSwitch 5324 can be managed through standard out-of-
band sessions through the Console port, via in-band Telnet
sessions, or via any SNMP-based management software program
(such as IntraSpection™).
Console/Telnet Management
The SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used to
manage the IntraSwitch 5324. The SNMP agent supports
database objects that are defined in the following Management
Information Bases (MIBs):
❏
MIB II (RFC 1213)
❏
Bridge MIB (RFC 1493)
❏
RMON, 4 groups (RFC 1757)
The SNMP agent can be accessed via out-of-band Console
connections or through in-band Telnet sessions. See Chapter 4,
“Setting Up For Management,” for information on connecting
via one of these two methods.
See Appendix B, “Supported MIBs” for more information on the
MIBs supported by the IntraSwitch.
SNMP-Based Management
IntraSpection Web-based network management software, along
with any other SNMP-based network management application,
can be used to manage the IntraSwitch 5324. See Chapter 9,
“SNMP-based Management” for more information.
Web Browser Management
In a future release of the switch’s software, the IntraSwitch will
be capable of management via any standard World Wide Web
browser.
