Telnet Management Session
You can use any management workstation on your network that has the
Telnet application protocol to manage an AT-8500 Series switch. This
type of management session is referred to in this guide as a remote
management session because you do not have to be in the wiring closet
where the switch is located.
To establish a Telnet management session with a switch, there must be
at least one enhanced stacking switch in the subnet with an IP address.
Only one switch in a subnet needs to have an IP address. Once you have
established a Telnet management session with the switch that has an IP
address, you can use the enhanced stacking feature of the management
software to access all other enhanced stacking switches that reside in
the same subnet.
Note
For further information on enhanced stacking, refer to Enhanced
Stacking Overview on page 45.
Note
For instructions on how to start a Telnet management session, refer
to Starting a Telnet Management Session on page 41.
A Telnet management session gives you access to nearly all of a switch’s
operating parameters. You can perform nearly all the same functions
from a Telnet management session as you can from a local management
session.
