Telnet Management Session
You can use the Telnet application protocol from a workstation on your
network to manage an AT-8300 Series stack. This type of management is
referred to as remote management because you do not have to be
physically close to the switch to start the interface, as with a local
management session. Any workstation on your network that has the
application protocol can be used to manage the switch.
In terms of functionally, there are almost no differences between
managing a switch locally through the RS-232 Terminal Port and
remotely with the Telnet application protocol. You see the same menu
selections and have nearly the same management capabilities.
Starting a Telnet management session requires that an IP address be
assigned to the stack. Initially assigning an IP address to a stack is
possible only through a local management session.
Once you have started a Telnet management interface on an AT-8300
Series stack, you have management access to all the switches that reside
in the stack.
Starting a Telnet
Management
Interface
To start a Telnet management interface, specify the IP address of the
Master switch of the stack in the Telnet application protocol.
Note
For instructions on how to configure the IP Address on the Master
switch, refer to Configuring an IP Address and Switch Name on
page 45.
When prompted for a user name and password, do one of the following:
❑ For Manager access, type manager as the user name. The default
password is “friend”.
❑ For Operator access, type operator as the user name. The default
password is “operator”.
Note
The user names and passwords are case sensitive.
The user names cannot be changed. For instructions on how to
change a password, refer to Configuring the Management
Passwords on page 51. For information on the two access levels,
refer to Management Access Levels on page 32.
