Menu: Administration>Connect to a remote system
This option allows you to use a switch to connect to and manage
another switch from Omega. This feature is only available if you are
connected to the switch for a local software management session
using the RS232 port.
1. Select Administration>Connect to a remote system .
2. Specify the switch by one of the following methods:
❑ By its user-assigned name enclosed in single quotes, in the
format ‘name’
❑ By its IP address, in the format x.x.x.x
❑ By its Ethernet (or MAC) address, in the format xxxxxx xxxxxx
The switch’s MAC address is printed above the switch’s RS232
management port on the front panel.
Once the information is validated and the connection to the
remote switch is opened, you immediately get that remote
switch’s Omega main menu. You may then use Omega to
configure the remote switch and run diagnostics.
The only option not available on the remote switch is
Connect to a remote system from the
Administration menu. The same is true if you used
Telnet.
3. Select Quit from the main menu when you are done.
Note
It is important that you select Quit after the Omega session.
Otherwise, you may block other sessions or software downloads via
the network to the remote switch. Refer also to Chapter 3,
Configuring Omega, for information on using a timeout value.
