Telnet Management Interface
Any management workstation on your network that has the Telnet
application protocol can be used to manage an AT-8316F or an AT-8324
Switch. This type of management interface is referred to in this guide as
a remote management interface because you do not have to be in the
wiring closet where the switch you wish to manage is located. You could
manage the switch from any workstation on the network that has the
application protocol.
To establish a Telnet management interface with a switch, you must
assign an IP address to that switch.
Note
For instructions on how to start a Telnet management interface,
refer to Starting a Telnet Management Interface on page 39.
A Telnet management interface gives you complete access to all of a
switch’s operating parameters. You could perform nearly all the same
functions from a Telnet management interface as you could from a local
management interface.
