Overview
The Omega management interface is a standard part of the AT-S25
management software. This menu-oriented interface simplifies the task
of managing an AT-8300 stack. With it, you can configure and manage all
of a stack’s parameters. For instance, you can create VLANs, view
performance statistics, and configure port parameters.
There are three different ways that you can access the Omega
management interface to configure and manage an AT-8300 Series
stack. They are:
❑ Using the RS232 port on the front panel of the master switch in
the stack. This is referred to as a local management session.
❑ Using a web browser, such as Netscape Navigator.
❑ Using Telnet.
You can also manage a stack using a SNMP program, such as HP
Overview; however, this method does not use the Omega interface.
The different sections in this chapter contain procedures on how to start
an Omega management session for each method. The chapter also
describes the Omega Main Menu and how to move through the various
menus.
