Management Overview
The AT-S62 management software is intended for the AT-8524M switch.
You use the software to monitor and adjust the switch’s operating
parameters. Some of the functions you can perform with the software
include:
❑ Enable and disable ports
❑ Configure port parameters, such as speed and duplex mode
❑ Create virtual LANs (VLANs)
❑ Create port trunks and port mirrors
❑ Assign an Internet Protocol (IP) address and subnet mask
❑ Activate and configure the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), Rapid
Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), or Multiple Spanning Tree
Protocol (MSTP)
❑ Access enhanced stacking features
❑ Configure Quality of Service (QoS)
❑ Enable and configure Internet Group Management Protocol
(IGMP) snooping
❑ Download and upload image, configuration, and system files
❑ Configure port security
The AT-S62 management software comes preinstalled on the switch
with default settings for all operating parameters. Should the default
settings be adequate for your network, you can use the device as an
unmanaged switch by simply connecting it to your network, as
explained in the hardware installation guide, and powering on the unit.
Note
The default settings for the management software can be found in
Appendix A, AT-S62 Default Settings on page 820.
To actively manage a switch and adjust its operating parameters, you
must access its AT-S62 management software. The AT-S62 software has
several different types of interfaces. There is a menu interface, another
interface for managing a switch with a web browser, and a command
line interface.
